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. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
