I am in the middle of a rather confusing situation. At the moment I am unable to shutdown a KVM guest machine. Nor am I presently able to open a virt-manager session on the host.
I am not exactly sure what has happened but the problem with the vm guest is that issuing a "virsh shutdown 1" from the root console has no effect.
# virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running
# virsh shutdown 1 Doamin 1 is being shutdown
wait 5 minutes
# virsh list Id Name State -------------------------------------------- 1 vmguest01.... running
How do I get this stopped?
I have another problem with virt-manager as well. But I will leave that for another message.
