Description of problem:
Currently, restart option in the GUI shuts down the VM and starts a new one (new pod and everything).
It is subject to the painful shutdown timeouts with no UI option to easily power off (BZ2027959) if the OS does not respond and shuts down by itself.
I'd like to request a "reset" button, that preserves the same pod and just hard resets the same VM inside it. This is useful when the VM is hung, to bring it back immediately, or when it failed to boot for some reason.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.12
Additional info:
The equivalent of doing this:
$ virsh reset <domain>
reset
Syntax:
reset domain
Reset a domain immediately without any guest shutdown. reset emulates the power reset button on a machine, where all guest hardware sees the RST line set and reinitializes inter‐
nal state.
Note: Reset without any guest OS shutdown risks data loss.
