If not, for example due to a kernel panic the HV can reset the > Instance so that it boots again. > Inside the Instance the 'watchdog' daemon has to run to provide this. If the > Watchdog is not running the HV can't verify if the Instance has crashed. > This is supported by Libvirt and Qemu and can be configured in the XML: > https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsWatchdog -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
