Fair enough. Any idea if the 'system_reboot' command is also wired up 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
If I'm not mistaken, qemu/kvm has a system_reset command, which does a reboot unless -no-reboot was specified in the command line. (It is still brutal to the filesystem if the guest is not cooperative, of course, but better than doing nothing)
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). Cheers, -- Guido
