[Bug 1720397] Re: qemu-kvm doesnt restart after node reboot

[Michael Quiniola]

To add to my comment above, if service nova-compute restart doesn't
work, a node reboot does. The issue is that upon initial install there
is no qemu-kvm.service enabled.

Title:
  qemu-kvm doesnt restart after node reboot

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in qemu source package in Zesty:
  Confirmed
Status in qemu source package in Artful:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Since the Zesty Merge the qemu-kvm service fails to be active by 
     default.

   * It is a non required but rather useful helper, so it should be fixed to 
     be enabled as it was pre zesty due to systemd-generators taking it from 
     sysv scripts back then.

  [Test Case]

   * Install qemu-system-common
   * Then check
     $ systemctl status qemu-kvm
   * This should be active (exited) but is currently disabled

  [Regression Potential]

   * If this script causes any issue for someone (not known so far) and he 
     was running on zesty a while it will on the SRU update be enabled and 
     trigger these issues. Yet this is a generic argument and if that would 
     be a blocker no services would be allowed to be enabled. I verified 
     that if masked the service stays off as it should.

  [Other Info]
   
   * IMO this issue qualified for  (2) the following of the Final Freeze:
     2) Bug fixes that would be suitable for post-release SRUs, which we
     may choose to accept, reject, or shunt to -updates for 0-day SRUs
     on a case-by-base basis.
