Well, I write a script to catch the state of VM from "running" to "shut off". Ok, there is a short time before shutoff, VM is "in shutdown". So, please ignore my report. :) On 09/17/2013 02:02 PM, Dongsheng Yang wrote:

Hi experts: I got the following description by <man virsh>: ``` STATES

shutdown The domain is in the process of shutting down, i.e. the guest operating system has been notified and should be in the process of stopping its operations gracefully. ``` But I found the state of VM is "running" even when it is in process of shutting down.

e.g: # virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 41 virt-tests-vm1 running # virsh shutdown virt-tests-vm1;echo $?;virsh domstate virt-tests-vm1 --reason Domain virt-tests-vm1 is being shutdown

0 running (booted) # virsh domstate virt-tests-vm1 --reason running (booted) ... ... # virsh domstate virt-tests-vm1 --reason shut off (shutdown)

As shown above, I can not get a "shutdown" (or "in shutdown") for the VM state. Do you think it is a bug, or something not good enough?

Wish your help!!
