Re: [libvirt] lifecycle: shutdown: should it have timeout when using qemu-agent?

The problem we encountered is:
1) use qemu-agent to shutdown a domain.

It's the *guest domain*'s fault that it stucks when shutdown. However, we could
not handle the domain in libvirt anymore, except for the jobs such as DESTROY or QUERY.
So, here comes the question:
What's the normal solution to this problem? shall we:
1) use DESTROY to forcelly poweroff the domain, in openstack or other applications
that uses libvirt.
Yes, this is preferred way. Even for other APIs that talk either to a
monitor or a guest agent.
