[Bug 771227] [NEW] Domain save/restore does not work (kvm)

[Paul McEnery]

Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
Release:        11.04

libvirt-bin:
  Installed: 0.8.8-1ubuntu6
  Candidate: 0.8.8-1ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.8-1ubuntu6 0

You create a domain via virt-manager. Once installed it should be possible to save the state of a VM to disk, and restore it.

The domain appears to save correctly, and restores, but the host performs a fresh boot.
The same behaviour is seen when using virsh:

$ virsh save <name> <name>.save
$ virsh restore <name>.save

Please see attached video.
