KVM/Qemu Guest Shutdown problems
- by Gaia
on both host and guest running CentOS 6.3 with KVM/Qemu virtualization, I have the following scenarios:
"virsh shutdown kvm1" did not shutdown at all. virsh lists guest as running.
"service libvirt-guests stop" did not shutdown in 280 seconds (shutdown_timeout=300. on_shutdown=shutdown)
"shutdown now" from within guest, guest becomes unreachable. virsh lists guest as running, though it could not connect to it.
"shutdown -h now" from within guest works.
"shutdown -r now" from within guest works.
Libvirt logs show nothing for the first 3 scenarios. I can pause the guest fine.
Bottom line, I cannot shutdown from outside the guest. What do I check to figure out what is going on?
