Hi, i have a SLES 11 SP2 64bit host with three guests: - Windows XP 32 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit - SLES 11 SP2 64bit The SLES guest shuts down with the host shutdown. The others not. When i shutdown these two guests with the virt-manager, they shutdown fine. ACPI is activated in virt-manager for both of them. When the host shuts down, the two guests get a signal (excerpt from the log of the host:) =========================================================== 2013-07-07 16:39:51.674: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/ QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.15 -enable-kvm -m 1025 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name greensql_2 -uuid 2cfbac9c-dbb2-c4bf-4aba-2d18dc49d18e -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/greensql_2.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -drive file=/var/lib/kvm/images/greensql_2/disk0.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev tap,fd=17,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=20 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:37:92:a9,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:2 -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 Domain id=3 is tainted: high-privileges qemu: terminating on signal 15 from pid 24958 2013-07-08 13:58:29.651: starting up ========================================================== I'm a bit astonished about "no-shutdown" in the commandline, but the sles guest also has it in its commandline, so it should not bother. Thanks for any help.
