Question

I am trying to shutdown a kvm on a centos using virsh shutdown vm1 command. I checked to see if the ACPI feature is present in the specification xml using virsh dumpxml vm1 | grep -F acpi and it is. What am I missing here? I don't want to force shutdown the vm.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The acpid daemon process must be running in the VM guest or it will not respond to the request from the hypervisor.

From inside the guest:

service acpid status

should return the running acpid. If it does not try:

sudo yum install acpid
sudo chkconfig acpid on
sudo service acpid start
