2.2.5. Setting Startup Parameters

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

  • For the container MyCT:

    # prlctl set MyCT --onboot yes
  • For the virtual machine MyVM:

    # prlctl set MyVM --onboot yes

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