[#662] 4.0b1 | Start on boot not working when order is set

[mjb2000]

I have Proxmox VE 4.0 beta 1 working pretty well in my home environment, but I have run in to an issue with starting machines automatically when the node starts.

If I select "Start on boot" then everything works fine and all machines with the flag start when the node starts.

The problem comes if I set an 'Startup order', 'Startup delay', or 'Shutdown timeout'. If any of these variable is set then the task list shows an error when that particular VM is started. For example...

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Undefined subroutine &PVE::JSONSchema::parse_startup called at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Nodes.pm line 1162.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Starting VM 101[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]trying to aquire lock... OK[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]TASK OK
[/FONT][/COLOR]

In this error above VM's 100 and 101 were both set to start at boot. VM 100 had a startup delay of "60" specified. As you can see, rather than starting VM 100 and error has been recorded. Whereas VM 101 has no additional startup variables defined and it started normally.

I looked into the Code and it seems like the wrong method gets called (i think it's "only" a typo), I'll have a look at it.

Please file a bug at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/

Wow - Thanks for taking a look and for your quick reply. I didn't want to raise a bug in case I was doing something wrong.

I have created the bug here: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662

Do you know what the typo is and how it should be fixed? I'd like to just fix it manually on my installation if possible.

Yes, on line 1152 and 1162 in your Nodes.pm file, should be in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Nodes.pm change

# line 1152
$startup = PVE::JSONSchema::parse_startup($conf->{'pve.startup'});
# to 
$startup = PVE::JSONSchema::pve_parse_startup_order($conf->{'pve.startup'});

# line 1162
$startup =  PVE::JSONSchema::parse_startup($conf->{startup});
# to
$startup =  PVE::JSONSchema::pve_parse_startup_order($conf->{startup});

you noticed the function 'parse_startup' got replaced with 'pve_parse_startup_order'.

It's also misspelled in QemuServer.pm (/usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer.pm) on line 4400, there should be:

my $opts = PVE::JSONSchema::pve_parse_startup_order($conf->{startup});

You can fix it for yourself there too, to be sure that this bug doesn't affect you anymore

Thank you VERY much

This has got it working.

I will leave this post as unresolved until the bug is fixed centrally, but hopefully this will help anyone experiencing this issue.
