Description Jean-Louis Dupond 2021-02-11 11:50:13 UTC

It would be nice to have an option in oVirt to reset (libvirt reset) a VM.
The only way now to restart a hanging VM is doing a Power Off and start.
But this takes more time, shuts off the console, etc.

While a reset is quick, you can keep the console open etc. And I guess its not that hard to implement :)

It was already requested in #1136819 years ago, but seems like that has been closed as duplicate of some irrelevant bug.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2021-02-11 14:39:09 UTC

The documentation text flag should only be set after 'doc text' field is provided. Please provide the documentation text and set the flag to '?' again.

Comment 2 Qin Yuan 2021-04-15 14:17:48 UTC

Verified with:
ovirt-engine-4.4.6.3-0.8.el8ev.noarch
vdsm-4.40.60.3-1.el8ev.x86_64
libvirt-7.0.0-13.module+el8.4.0+10604+5608c2b4.x86_64

Steps:
1. Create and run a VM(used latest-rhel-guest-image-8.3-infra template)
2. Open VM console
3. Reset VM on UI
4. Reset VM via API
   POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/22c3cc4b-921e-42b2-ac3b-17426100dfc4/reset
   <action>
	<async>true</async>
   </action>
5. Update a VM parameter which requires VM restart, such as enabling Smartcard, then reset the VM

Results:
1. On UI, Reset button is in the dropdown list of Reboot, Resetting VM via Reset button succeeds, VM console remains connected.
2. Resetting VM via API succeeds, VM console remains connected.
3. Smartcard is enabled after VM is reset.
