[libvirt-users] Virtual Machines Stay Off If Rebooted

[Patrick Wilbur]

Hey Andrew,

Could you run the following?

#virsh dumpxml <domain>

The XML for one of my VMs contains some entries that look like the
following:

  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>restart</on_crash>

What do yours look like?
