[libvirt-users] libvirt guests graceful shutdown upon hosts powerdown/reboot
hi everybody by an assumption I expected VM guests to be shut down/off gracefully when the host is being powered down or rebooted, but this does not seem to be the case so I wonder.. Am I missing some libvirt components/packages ? Or my assumption is incorrect and guests have to be shutdown manually? it's all SL 7 and guest are M$ regards P.

The libvirt-guests.service systemd unit file is able to take care of shutting down (or saving) guests at host shutdown.

should have mentioned, apologies, suspend is the graceful shutdown of the guest I was thinking of. Guest is win2k8, why would it not suspend? On 22/10/14 10:58, lejeczek wrote:

seems server versions of windows have to forced, but yet I get - trying powercfg.exe - ".. firmware does not support suspend.." or something similar, which I guess is down to qemu/kernel On 22/10/14 11:45, lejeczek wrote:
