Subject: How to properly turn off guest VM on server shutdown?
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:33:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B5C5A31.7060807@web.de> (raw)

Hi,
is there a mechanism inside qemu-kvm that can shutdown the OS inside a 
VM when the qemu-kvm process receives a kill signal?
I am running Windows7 Pro inside a VM and I would like kvm to shut the 
Windows system down before the process is killed.
I know that VMware can shut down the guest OS when stopping the VMware 
instance. Is there a similar feature in KVM?

Regards
  André
