virsh-pool-autostart: Enable autostart for the storage pool specified by name or UUID (determine using `virsh pool-list`).
$ virsh pool-autostart --pool ${select}
try on your machine

The "virsh pool-autostart --pool ${select}" command is used to configure the automatic startup behavior of a storage pool in the libvirt virtualization management tool.

  • "virsh" is a command-line utility used to interact with the libvirt API, which is responsible for managing virtualization resources and hypervisors.
  • "pool-autostart" is a subcommand of "virsh" that instructs libvirt to change the autostart configuration of a storage pool.
  • "--pool ${select}" is an option that specifies the storage pool to be modified. The "${select}" variable should be replaced with the name of the desired pool.

By using this command, you can control whether a specific storage pool should automatically start when the host machine boots up or when the libvirt service is started. The "--pool" option combined with the provided pool name allows you to select the pool you want to configure.
