RFE: Individual ON_SHUTDOWN

Dear Qemu Developers.

qemu-kvm-9.1.3-2.fc41.x86_64

Would you please consider the following Request for Enhancement (RFE)?

Currently, if yo want to have you virtual machine shutdown when your reboot/poweroff the host, you need to

# dnf install libvirt-daemon-common-10.6.0-7.fc41.x86_64

Edit /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests
    ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown
    SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=300
Note time out above is second or 5 minutes

# systemctl enable libvirt-guests.service

# systemctl start libvirt-guests.service

Problem: this does work, but it affects all your Virtual Machines (VM’s).

Request for Enhancement:

Please add the ability to configure each VM individually.

Currently the XML code from your VM’s have the following tag: <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>

Would you please consider expanding this tag to included: <on_poweroff>poweroff</on_poweroff>

And update virt-manager with a category to include the above?

A good name for it would be “On Poweroff” and possible pull down options would be suspend (a real suspend, not a destroy and keep a log file) destroy power off

Many thanks, -T
