NetBox version

v4.2.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

add a choice field which is to decide if a vm is meant to start at boot.
choices:

  • On
  • Off
  • Last State

Use case

most hypervisors have the concept of if a vm is meant to start automatically when a host is powered up that the vm is located on.
usually the options are On or Off (proxmox) but also some other systems (hyperv) have the concept of last state.

Database changes

BTW @RobertH1993 since this will require a model change/migration, please be sure to target feature.
