Thread-topic: [Xen-users] XCP can't shutdown VM
Hi,

This often happens if a 'clean shutdown' is in progress but is stuck (eg 
because the guest is failing to shut itself down). The solution is usually to 
find the blocking 'task' (xe task-list) and cancel it (xe task-cancel). After 
that you should be able to hard shutdown the VM.

In the worst case, if that doesn't work for some reason then you can always 
restart xapi ('service xapi restart')-- that will clear out a lot of state.

Cheers,
Dave
