Is it safe to restart libvirtd on hosts with workloads without
entering Maintenance mode ?
Generally no, often yes. Restarting libvirtd shouldn't cause harm to
the VMs themselves but it can disrupt running jobs managed by libvirt or
confuse oVirt if some actions are being performed at the given moment.
It's best to do it when there are no migrations (host migrations don't
work for you currently anyway) or other jobs (e.g. snapshots) or actions
(e.g. VM startup or shutdown) running on the host. Even if they are, it
doesn't necessarily mean something breaks but it's
best-effort/no-guarantees workflow instead of the normal workflow.
I think just adding the certificate links doesn't require libvirtd
restart. And reload may be enough after changing libvirt configuration
files.
