Re: not able to stop vmware player node through libvirt API

    Hi,

    
    from my own experience, I spotted that libvirt, when interfaced with
    vmware always attempt to issue soft reboots for destroy action (as
    you can see from CL). Whereas it appears that they are likely to
    fail. Switching to hard shutdown works.

    As you can't fix libvirt (unless you want), I'd recommend you use a
    boostrap script for this, that switch soft to hard.

    
    As for example: http://www.pschweitzer.fr/?p=22#more-22

    
    With my best regards,

    Pierre Schweitzer

      Hi,
        

        I have started one node through libvirt API using
          its start method. I am trying to stop that node using the destroy
          method provided by the API but I am not able to do so.
          Instead, I am getting one message saying:
        

        libvir: error: internal
              error Child process (vmrun -T player stop
              /root/test_folder/myImage.vmx soft) unexpected exit status
              255
        

        Can anybody tell me why I am not able to stop the
          node.
        

        Thanks in advance. :)
