http://serverfault.com – 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 (HowTos)

Stories similar to KVM/Qemu Guest Shutdown problems

I have a Virtualbox VM running Ubuntu that was started by Vagrant. At some point my ssh session connected to the guest stopped responding. I tried "vagrant halt" from a terminal window on the host (OS X). The shutdown process seemed to also hang. Shutting down the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager doesn't shut down the VMs themselves.

What is your network configuration between host and guest? show both you guest and network configs (virsh dumpxml guest and virsh net-dumpxml default), please. [by k8neo]

Hi, I have Ubuntu server 12.04 64bit as host and Ubuntu server 12.04 64bit as guest. The thing is that the guest randomly dies and it is soooo frustrating. There is PDC on the guest and people cannot work.

I have Ubuntu 12.10 and was using guest account. I downloaded some files on desktop and shutdown my m/c after use. Now today when I logged in to guest account to copy those files but those surprisingly those files were gone and desktop was clear. I guess ubuntu deletes all files from guest account on shutdown.

Can you please guide me to recover those lost files.

Thanks

Hello, CentOS community. I need your help on setting up host-guest bridge. I cant get guest accessable from the LAN. Host can ping guest, guest can ping host, but either gust cant ping LAN, or LAN ... [by k8neo]

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Xen 4.2 running on Ubuntu 12.04.

The install is an Ubuntu 12.04-x64 host with two Ubuntu 12.04-x64 guests and one Windows server 2008 R2 guest with the signed PV drivers. I'm using the XL toolkit.

I'm suffering an issue where the machine gets stuck at the "Will now reboot" line when the host is rebooted while the guests are still running.

Im running FreeNas on a KVM guest. I need to add (attach) a virtual drive.

I run: qemu-img create -f qcow2 morespace.img 10G

virsh: attach-disk freenas /space/morespace.img vdb

I restart the FreeNas guest, but the spare drive is not shown on 'gpart list or show'

To make extra sure, I did the same steps for a Debian guest.

run script on logout 1 year 24 weeks ago

I have the following bash script on debian with the LSB header:

### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: shutdown_vms # Required-Start: # Required-Stop: gdm vmware $local_fs $remote_fs $network # Default-Start: # Default-Stop: 0 2 3 4 5 6 # Short-Description: Shutdown vms # Description: Shutdown vms ### END INIT INFO

The script shutdown guest vms when host is shutdown.

I'm running Debian Wheezy Beta 4 with KVM based guest systems which run the same operating system. I'm using LibVirt to manage the virtualisation.

What I would like to do is to attach an LVM based block device to a running guest system through Virtio.
