Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to gracefully shutdown a Windows domain? The xm shutdown command essentially "cuts power off" to the machine. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

They contain a shutdown service just to do that. B. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Is windows sensitive to the ACPI signals? that is what Xen uses to talk to Linux VM''s if I understand it correctly.

Windows should be fine with ACPI signals assuming it has sufficient drivers to detect this functionality ''from the BIOS''. Can''t comment on the GPLPV drivers but I''d imagine if they include a shut down service this would be how it''s being accomplished. Check out this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa939200(v=winembedded.5).aspx Seems to make out that the power button is controlled via ACPI. Therefore if you have booted your VM with "acpi = 0" in domU cfg then it''s highly unlikely you will be able to trigger a graceful shut down.
