Setting Startup Parameters

The pctl set command allows you to define the onboot startup parameter for virtual machines and Containers. Setting this parameter to yes makes your virtual machine and Container automatically boot at the physical server startup. For example, to enable Container 101 and the MyVM virtual machine to automatically start on your server boot, you can execute the following commands:

• For Container 101:

  # pctl set 101 --onboot yes --save

  Saved parameters for Container 101

• For the MyVM virtual machine:

  # pctl set MyVM --onboot yes

Notice that the onboot parameter will have effect only on the next server startup.
