I am trying to reboot my virtual machines, running virsh reboot. Then I get the following error:

error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainReboot

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

I also have acpid in both the host and the guest.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

libvirt's qemu hypervisor driver supports virDomainReboot since v0.9.3. For reference please check: http://libvirt.org/hvsupport.html

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.
