Hi Patrick, My VM configuration contains those same entries: <domain type='kvm' id='65'> <name>testvm</name> <uuid>e630518d-2ccc-f643-a6cb-61c09a3fb251</uuid> <memory>524288</memory> <currentMemory>524288</currentMemory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc-0.12'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='localtime'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/testvm.img'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/> <readonly/> </disk> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:98:fe:49'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet20'/> </interface> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/22'> <source path='/dev/pts/22'/> <target port='0'/> </console> <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/22'> <source path='/dev/pts/22'/> <target port='0'/> </console> <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='5990' autoport='no' listen='0.0.0.0'/> <video> <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> </video> </devices> <seclabel type='dynamic' model='apparmor'> <label>libvirt-e630518d-2ccc-f643-a6cb-61c09a3fb251</label> <imagelabel>libvirt-e630518d-2ccc-f643-a6cb-61c09a3fb251</imagelabel> </seclabel> </domain> A few months ago the configuration worked as expected - rebooting a machine would obey the directive in the config file and restart it, however that is no longer the case.

Hi Patrick, Yes, this is a production server.

I'm not sure. I'll keep thinking about it and let you know if I come up with any ideas! Is this a production environment?
