Re: [Libvir] [patch] qemu/kvm: use_system_powerdown instead of killing the vm hard

Fair enough. Any idea if the 'system_reboot' command is also

in KVM yet ? We should probably just add code to call it anyway since
it'll be near identical code to that which you used for shutdown, and
its better than leaving domainReboot driver method as a no-op.
There's no
system_reboot in either kvm nor qemu. I see two solutions
for wireing up domainReboot(). Either qemu/kvm accepts a parameter to
system_powerdown to signal that we should restart the vm instead of
simply shutting down or we simply send
"sendkey ctrl-alt-delete"
to the monitor which might be very fragile though. Both solutions depend
on the os in the vm doing the right thing (acpi event handling in the
first case).
