** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * VMs being shutdown with any signal/notification from the The + hypervisor level, services running inside VMs have no chance to perform + a clean shutoff + + [Test Case] + + * 1. stop a VM + 2. the VM is shutdown without any notification + + [Regression Potential] + + * none + + Currently in libvirt stop and delete operations simply destroy the underlying VM. Some GuestOS's do not react well to this type of power failure, and it would be better if these operations followed the same approach a a soft_reboot and give the guest a chance to shutdown gracefully. Even where VM is being deleted, it may be booted from a volume which will be reused on another server.
