Does running a:

shutdown -h now

Gracefully showdown all the VMs and Containers like running shutdown from the web console or does it just power the host down and kill the VMs?
 
On shutdown of the pve host the VMs and containers are shutdown through an ACPI request. If they don't respond, for example no ACPI available, then the VMs (180 sec timeout) & containers (60 sec timeout) are killed in the end.
