Hi,
sometimes I forget to shutdown my hvm guests before restarting the host machine. I want to prevent this/automatically shutdown the guests gracefully (as if I typed 'poweroff' on the guest's console)
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6:
To gracefully power off a guest use: # virsh shutdown <virtual machine (name | id | uuid)>
On my FC6 (x86_64) machine this is only works for pv guests. Unfortunately, I use several hvm guests (e.g. 32 bit guests for FC{5,6,7} which can not be run under the current 64 bit xen in FC7 - AFAIK).
However, all these guests are linux machines which can be powered off by sending "Ctrl+Alt+Del". Is there any possibility to gracefully shut down linux hvm guests?
