graceful shutdown DomU

graceful shutdown DomU

[jbuy0710]

Hi

I want to graceful shutdown a HVM but encounter some problems.
>From the document, XEN supports graceful shutdown a DomU, but I tried
xm shutdown / virsh shutdown,
and both of them terminate VM immedistaly like xm destroy.

The xml contains ACPI flag as below
<features>
    <acpi/>
    <apic/>
    <pae/>
</features>

The OS of VM are windows server 2003 and Fedora 12, and the kernel of
dom0 is 2.6.32.23-170 , xen is 4.1.0.
are there any additional settings I have to do?

Thanks

I think you need install windows gpl pv drivers....

No, xm shutdown write to xenstore path shutdown (restart and other)
string, shutdownmon binary (in gpl pv drivers) check thit path and do
some actions inside windows hvm - put it to hibernate or shutdown or
reboot.
