I have been googling this to no avail - I appreciate any assistance. I am using KVM and libvirt on Ubuntu with great success. However I have one VM that is dependent on another and using the autostart feature in libvirt my VMs all start simultaneously causing the dependent one not to start all services successfully. Is there a way to control the start order or set dependencies using libvirt?

Thanks,
Scott
