Today I mistakenly typed 'reboot' in
the wrong terminal, which made me remember one of my todos: take care of
a graceful shutdown of all running VM guests. *My VM host just killed
all processes and rebooted, which was not really appreciated by all running
guests, as one might understand.
According to http://serverfault.com/questions/200751/can-kvm-suspend-or-shutdown-guests-automatically-on-host-shutdown
this is taken care of already by some souls at RedHat (and Fedora) with
an init script called libvirt-guests.
On http://libvirt.org/news.html
I see that it exists at least since version 0.8.2, but on Ubuntu 11.04
(libvirt 0.8.8) it's not there. On 10.10 (0.8.3) neither, though I find
some reference to it on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/libvirt/0.8.8-1ubuntu1
Does anybody have an idea about why I cannot find this
script on Ubuntu? *T seems to be in line with the policy of supporting
KVM for server virtualization (which is my use case) and it does eem to
be quite interesting to have!

I found the following: https://docs.google.com/Doc?id=drjq7vn_0ctn8k3dd
Look at section 5.2 for a possible solution.
Perhaps this is something we can have reviewed by the maintainer of libvirt in
Ubuntu and see if we should implement it.

Bug #350936 [1] is covering this topic. At the moment the best solution
is to install mollyguard, but I think a proper solution is being
discussed...
