Is there a way to get Windows to do an orderly shutdown (eg simulate a power button press) using the ''xm shutdown'' command? Thanks James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Maybe another method would do just fine, if we would have something like xm exec <vid> <command> I will look into the sysrq thing a little bit more... at least for my linux guests.> -----Original Message----- > From: Petersson, Mats [mailto:Mats.Petersson@amd.com] > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 1:32 PM > To: Schober Walter; xen-users@lists.xensource.com > Cc: James Harper > Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Windows HVM - orderly shutdown > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com > > [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of > > Schober Walter > > Sent: 04 June 2007 12:14 > > To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com > > Cc: James Harper > > Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Windows HVM - orderly shutdown > > > > Look into that was well: > > http://forums.xensource.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2225 > > Seems to be a 3.2 feature. > > That''s "Xen''s commercial product" version 3.2, which uses a different > version of Xen source-code than the general 3.x releases.

Since we''re talking windows here, there''s no open source pv drivers available anywhere :-( Basically the driver will just need to monitor the appropriate node in xenstore to see when XenD marks it as wanting to shutdown.

Windows > already has drivers for that.Yes, if someone implements the interface from the XenStore/XenBus to QEMU-DM and then from there to the guest. It''s much easier to have a PV driver that listens to XenBus, I think.> > James > > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
