[Xen-devel] [BUG} libxl.c:5947:libxl_send_trigger: Send trigger 'reset' failed: Function not implemented

["Alex Braunegg" <alex.braunegg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have been testing the Xen 4.6.0 packages - however I have found the
following issue with attempting to reboot a Windows VM:

--------------------------------------------------------------
[root@mynas-s5000xvn services]# /usr/sbin/xl reboot Windows_2008_R2   
Rebooting domain 5
PV control interface not available: external graceful reboot not possible.
Use "-F" to fallback to ACPI reset event.
reboot failed (rc=-10)

[root@mynas-s5000xvn services]# /usr/sbin/xl -F reboot Windows_2008_R2
/usr/sbin/xl: invalid option -- 'F'
unknown global option

[root@mynas-s5000xvn services]# /usr/sbin/xl reboot -F Windows_2008_R2
Rebooting domain 5
PV control interface not available: sending ACPI reset button event.
libxl: error: libxl.c:5947:libxl_send_trigger: Send trigger 'reset' failed:
Function not implemented
reboot failed (rc=-3)

[root@mynas-s5000xvn services]# /usr/sbin/xl reboot Windows_2008_R2 -F
Rebooting domain 5
PV control interface not available: external graceful reboot not possible.
Use "-F" to fallback to ACPI reset event.
reboot failed (rc=-10)

[root@mynas-s5000xvn services]#
--------------------------------------------------------------

The VM in question is a clean install of Windows 2008 R2. The same issue
occurs when attempting to use the 'shutdown' command.

If the PV Windows Drivers are installed - then this is not an issue - the
reboot / shutdown works flawlessly.

The use case here is that not all users will install the PV Windows drivers
- especially since the easy install & signed drivers (msi package) from
'ejbdigital' are no longer available


Best regards,

Alex
