The Requires relationship is very strong, in that it prevents a unit from running unless all the units it Requires are running as well. This turns out to be a problem because we want to be able to restart libvirtd at any time without having libvirt-guests suspend or shutdown running guests. Turn the Requires relationship into a Wants relationship: this way starting libvirt-guests will cause systemd to (attempt to) start libvirtd as well, but stopping or restarting libvirtd will not alter libvirt-guests' running state.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
