Shutdown problem of kvm machine

[bohansen]

Hi,

I have an Ubuntu server running kvm which does not react on the stop signal from Proxmox. Installing "apt-get install acpid" solved this.

However it concerns me that before I installed acpid on the VM, if I hit "Shutdown server" in the webinterface it just stopped at shutting down qemu machines. I waited more than 10 minuttes (as suggested in an old thread), but nothing happened.
Shouldn't it kill the VMs if they are still running 3 minutes after? If the power off signal comes from an UPS it's quite important that it does not hang.

Thanks in advance, and thank you for a great product .

Shutdown only work with ACPI, sorry.

When the UPS signals lost power the host shuts down (killing all VM after 3 minutes).

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll have to test the shutdown when I get the UPS. I just thought it would be the same as a normal shutdown, but I don't see the 3 minute timeout kick in and kill the VMs.
