Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Honour <on_reboot/>
Hi Michal,
Replying to an old thread:

I think this patch enables exactly that. The VM admins don't
start the
domains by hand but probably have some SW that starts configured domains
whenever not running. E.g. if one domain crashes, the mgmt SW starts it
up again. With such SW in place this patch is exactly what's been missing.
Alternatively, we can introduce new <on_reboot/> target, say
"reinit"
that would kill the qemu process and start a new one instead.
I could also really use something like that.
I have no control about when my customers reboot, but when they do,
for a kernel update for instance, that's the perfect moment for the vm
to restart with new configuration.
Right now I have an external process with an event loop that looks for
the reboot event for all domains, combined with
<on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot>.
That works, but I prefer if libvirt would handle this.

Kind regards,
