[Bug 368962] Re: Can't reboot kvm virtual machines using virsh

[Soren Hansen]

I really don't consider this High importance at all[1], and I doubt this
will get fixed any time soon, if ever. There's simply no portable way
(that I can think of, at least) to reboot a fully virtualised operating
system, and until there is, such a method cannot be exposed through the
libvirt API. Think of it this way: There's no way to walk up to a
physical machine and reboot the operating system on there without
knowing which operating system it's running and subsequently knowing
specifically how to reboot said operating system (if said operating
system even /has/ a mechanism for that). That's basically what you're
asking libvirt/kvm to be able to do.
