Hi James,
-----Original Message----- From: centos-virt-bounces@centos.org [mailto:centos-virt- bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of James B. Byrne Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2011 1:53 PM To: centos-virt@centos.org Subject: [CentOS-virt] CentOS-6 KVM virt-manager will not shutdown
guest
I have a CentOS-6 guest VM configured on a CentOS-6 host. If I run virt-manager then I can start the guest VM but once it is
running I
cannot get a shutdown command to have effect. To shutdown the running guest I either must select Force Off from the Shut Down menu or open
the
guest console and issue shutdown from the command line.
Is there some setting that is required to have Shut Down have effect
when
issued from within virt-manager? is this a bug or a configuration
problem?
When I issue the shutdown command to the guest then there is no entry made in /var/log/messages. It just has no effect. However, if I
issue a
reboot command from the same menu then I get an error:
libvirtd: 16:43:51.027: error: VirLibConnError 450 : this function is
not
supported by the connection driver: virDominReboot
Am I to infer that Reboot and Shutdown options actually are not
available to
use from the virt-manager Shut Down menu, notwithstanding that they
are
present?
You need to have acpid installed.
In your KVM VM guest, run the following:
yum -y install acpid service acpid start chkconfig acpid on
