Searching around I get the impression this should be fixed by now, since the bugs I find
are old and resolved. These are the versions I'm running.
Linux 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 15:42:40 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6.x86_64
libvirt's qemu hypervisor driver supports virDomainReboot since v0.9.3.
For reference please check: http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html
I also have acpid in both the host and the guest.
Yes, acpid is needed for a graceful reboot, as the reboot procedure from
the perspective of the guest looks like a acpi shutdown request and a
new start. For a traditional reboot, you would require asistance of a
guest agent.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
