The 'shutdown' and 'reboot' commands use terms that apply to the operating system, because they *are* controlling the operating system, not the virtual machine. They directly result in the guest OS commands 'shutdown' and 'reboot' being invoked.
At least for QEMU this is only true for agent mode. Otherwise (default) both virsh shutdown and virsh reboot are the same from the OS perspective, namely a system powerdown request and will typically result in the shutdown script to be run. That's what can confuse users without insight to libvirt code. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards Viktor Mihajlovski IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
