[libvirt] Potential gotcha in virsh migration with --persistent?

[Justin Clift]

Hi all,

Just noticed that when using the virsh --persistent option for 
migration, that the "autostart" attribute isn't mirrored across to the 
destination host.

This seems like a "gotcha", in that a person migrating an autostarted 
guest to another host with --persistent will be expecting the migration 
to persist _all_ of the (important at least) guest settings.

Without mirroring this attribute, the person doing the migration needs 
to manually follow up the migration by subsequently connecting to the 
destination host, then turning on autostart attribute for the domain there.

Guessing it's not a design decision, and is just something we should fix?

Regards and best wishes,
