So, it looks to me that a KVM guest, when first defined, can have NOSTATE, but imply offline. Xen's notion of NOSTATE seems to imply being online. In my patch to domain_online() just now, I had to account for those differences. Perhaps something needs to change in this patch as well? For example, if we're in NOSTATE, we allow running virDomainReboot(), but will that function fail if it can't do a shutdown on the domain? What about for suspend? I doubt libvirt will let you pause an offline domain, so perhaps we should alter things a bit? -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center Open Hypervisor Team email: danms(a)us.ibm.com
