PJ,
I didn't have virsh installed (libvirt-client). After having installed it, it still didn't see the process:
virsh autostart testvm
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory
Then, after having installed libvirt, it gives essentially the same error.
I was thinking that in iterations past, it was possible just to run the hypervisor, put a symlink in /etc/xen/auto, and VMs would be auto-started upon reboot. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe those older boxes had libvirt installed on them, too.
If I need to install libvirt, what does this mean overall? What am I changing? What other process needs to run or be started upon boot on a CentOS 7.x box?
Thanks.

Hello,
In days past, all I had to do was create /etc/xen/auto and put a symlink in there to the config file for each VM I wanted to have started automatically.
Since updating to 4.6, this doesn't work. Period.
I'm having a hard time finding what needs to change in order to get VMs to auto start on reboot of a server. Can someone please point me to documentation that I have missed or share the gold nugget?
