Hi! One of my guests (guest1) was not accessible today. The state was ---s-d. Looking at the xen docs, for "s" says that the state is shutdown, but there is no entry for "d". Every night I save the guest with # virsh save guest1 /saved/guest1_saved and mount the guest1 disk to backup user files, umount the disk and restore the guest: # virsh restore /saved/guest1_saved In the xend.log there was no message about the restore. When I tried to shutdown (with xm ou virsh) the guest , I received "Error: Domain cannot be shutdown". Below the " xm list" output and the error from xend.log Dom0 and DomU are Fedora 7 with 2.6.21-6.fc7xen, xen-3.1.2-1.fc7, xen-libs-3.1.2-1.fc7 and libvirt-0.3.2-1.fc7. #xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 493 2 r----- 5039.8 guest1 13 251 1 ---s-d 440.0 guest2 14 251 2 ------ 219.6 xend.log output: [2008-01-16 08:09:15 2303] ERROR (SrvBase:88) Request shutdown failed.
