Hi,
Your only hope here is that your booted host tells the dom0 that it has
started. One of the solution could be to setup ssh keys, so that your
"host a" can log into your dom0, then do something like that in your
/etc/rc.local:
ssh dom0-ip 'touch /var/lib/script-name-of-your-choice/host-a-booted'
Then you could do a startup script like this:
xm create host-a
while [ ! -e /var/lib/script-name-of-your-choice/host-a-booted ] ; do
sleep 5
done
xm create host-b
There might be 1000 other ways of doing this, but this one is easy to
implement. Maybe you want to have some kind of limits in the while loop,
and maybe some alerting to let you know if host-a never wrote the file.
I hope that helps, this is just a 2 cents script helping written from
top of my head as you seem to be turning in loops searching for a
solution...
