RE: [Xen-users] dom0 and domU shutdown behavior
What distro are you using, and is it their xen package or one from
source? I probably won't be much help, but that will probably be important
information to anyone who is.
I run F8 with the F8 Xen, and when I shut down, a python
error/incompatibility (I think) causes the xendomains service to stop
without shutting down the domUs (when xendomains is stopped on a properly
functioning system, it will shut them down or kill them one at a time based
on the config). However, in my case, xendomains may not actually be
stopping at this point, because when killall is called, the domains each
shut down one at a time like they are supposed to de when xendomains is
stopped (but since this is supposed to happen way earlier, it probably
wouldn't work right if I were using file-backed virtual disks instead of
device-backed virtual disks because the mounted filesystems are read-only by
the time killall is called).

Subject: [Xen-users] dom0 and domU shutdown behavior
If I do an xm shutdown or shutdown from within domU I get a graceful
shutdown. If I shutdown dom0 the guests are just getting "killed". Is
there a way to make dom0 shut down the domUs more gracefully?
I haven't seen any ill effects yet, but I assume a graceful shutdown would
be better in any case.
Documentation at
http://tx.downloads.xensource.com/downloads/docs/user/#SECTION022300000000
00000000
says that xendomains would do this. However, I can't see that it does.
I also see these explanations in man xmdomain.cfg (which don't seem to
apply to the situation above, I'm just asking about one option):
on_shutdown
Triggered on either an xm shutdown or graceful shutdown from inside
the DomU.
on_reboot
Triggered on either an xm reboot or graceful reboot from inside the
DomU.
on_crash
Triggered when a DomU goes to the crashed state for any reason.
However, in my original config files created with virt-manager quite some
time ago I have
on_poweroff =
Is on_poweroff valid anymore? Or is on_shutdown maybe wrong documentation?
