Peter Krempa 6c3642e9bc libvirt-guests: Add parallel startup and shutdown of guests
With this patch, it's possible to shut down guests in parallel. Parallel
startup was possible before, but this functionality was not documented
properly.

To enable parallel startup set the START_DELAY to 0.

Parallel shutdown has a configurable parameter PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN that
defines the number of machines being shut down in parallel. Enabling
this feature changes the semantics of SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT parameter that is
applied as a cumulative timeout to shutdown all guests on a URI.

# URIs to check for running guests
# example: URIS='default xen:/// vbox+tcp://host/system lxc:///'
#URIS=default
# action taken on host boot
# - start all guests which were running on shutdown are started on boot
# regardless on their autostart settings
# - ignore libvirt-guests init script won't start any guest on boot, however,
# guests marked as autostart will still be automatically started by
# libvirtd
#ON_BOOT=start
# Number of seconds to wait between each guest start. Set to 0 to allow
# parallel startup.
#START_DELAY=0
# action taken on host shutdown
# - suspend all running guests are suspended using virsh managedsave
# - shutdown all running guests are asked to shutdown. Please be careful with
# this settings since there is no way to distinguish between a
# guest which is stuck or ignores shutdown requests and a guest
# which just needs a long time to shutdown. When setting
# ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown, you must also set SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to a
# value suitable for your guests.
#ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend
# If set to non-zero, shutdown will suspend guests concurrently. Number of
# guests on shutdown at any time will not exceed number set in this variable.
#PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN=0
# Number of seconds we're willing to wait for a guest to shut down. If parallel
# shutdown is enabled, this timeout applies as a timeout for shutting down all
# guests on a single URI defined in the variable URIS. If this is 0, then there
# is no time out (use with caution, as guests might not respond to a shutdown
# request). The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
#SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=300
# If non-zero, try to bypass the file system cache when saving and
# restoring guests, even though this may give slower operation for
# some file systems.
#BYPASS_CACHE=0
