libvirt users - Jan 2013 - not able to stop vmware player node through libvirt API

Hi,

I have started one node through libvirt API using its start method. I am
trying to stop that node using the *destroy *method provided by the API but
I am not able to do so. Instead, I am getting one message saying:

*libvir: error: internal error Child process (vmrun -T player stop
/root/test_folder/myImage.vmx soft) unexpected exit status 255*

Can anybody tell me why I am not able to stop the node.

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi,

from my own experience, I spotted that libvirt, when interfaced with 
vmware always attempt to issue soft reboots for destroy action (as you 
can see from CL). Whereas it appears that they are likely to fail. 
Switching to hard shutdown works.
As you can't fix libvirt (unless you want), I'd recommend you use a 
boostrap script for this, that switch soft to hard.

As for example: http://www.pschweitzer.fr/?p=22#more-22

With my best regards,
