Re: Reload domain configuration on guest restart

Hi all,
as you surely know, after changing some domain parameters via libvirt (ie:
NIC type), the guest need to be shutdown and restarted. A simple reboot will
not be sufficient, as libvirt will not launch a new qemu domain (ie: the
same qemu process will be in charge to start the new guest instance).
It is possible to configure libvirt to start a new qemu domain on guest
reboot? Can the <on_reboot> domain attribute be used for implementing
something similar?
With the current impl this is not possible. From a technical POV though
it is possible to extend libvirt to have a <on_reboot>recreate</on_reboot>
option which would kill QEMU & recreate it with the new config. Basically
just needs someone motivated to write the code...

Daniel
