This is a limitation in KVM, there is no Reboot support, basically only shutdown. The only possibility at the moment is a combination of shutdown and restart, which is not 100% similar at the libvirt level which is why I would rather try to get a reboot operation at the QEmu level. But at the CIM API level maybe "reboot" and "shutdown + restart" are
I would let the reboot option remain for Xen/XenFV. I can use "shutdown + restart" for now in the test case for KVM.
undistinguishable, in which case it's probably a good idea to implement it this way if the hypervisor support for reboot is not present.
I believe that the reboot option works for the KVM guests.
