Hi All,
What happens to a running qemu-kvm virtual machine
when the host shuts down or reboots?
Does the hypervisor issue a shutdown to the VM?
Or freeze and save the vm? Or just cut the vm's
leg off?
Many thanks,

Oh holy Poop!
The default from, the XML file is
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
And virt-manager won't let your change it.

The options are:
destroy
restart
preserve (which is really destroy but keep a record)
rename-restart
Our friendly AI over on search.brave.com says I have
the option of
<on_shutdown>shutdown</on_shutdown>
But it is not the case.
So hopefully Sam rommendation will work.
