First make sure your VM shuts down in a regular kvm instance. Use virsh shutdown or use virt-manager to shutdown the vm and see if the vm actually picks up the signal. Get it working there and your template will surely work on open nebula.<div class="gmail_extra">

Hi,<div><br></div><div>If the VM does not disappear after a shutdown, OpenNebula assumes that the guest ignored the acpi signal and changes its state to running. You may want to check that the acpi daemon is running.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a computer running OpenNebula 3.8 and two hosts running
CentOS 6.3 and KVM. I have one VM running in one of the hosts.<br>
From OpenNebula/Sunstone, I select that VM and then:<br>
<ul>
<li>When I press "PowerOff", after a while, the state changes to
"RUNNING" but the VM never shutdowns.</li>
<li>When I press "Shutdown" the state of the VM changes to
"SHUTDOWN" but the VM continues working (perhaps KVM doesn't
support correctly ACPI signaling). I've connected via ssh to the
VM and the executed "poweroff". The VM successfully switched off
but then the VM entry disappeared from Sunstone. I've checked
the existence of the VM in the host using virsh and it lists
nothing.</li>
</ul>
Eventually, we had to instantiate again the template to recreate the
VM. The image was a persistent one.<br>
<br>
<br>
This is the log of that VM after pressing Shutdown:<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
As stated in the logs, a "delete" command is executed, so the VM
instance has been erased. This would be an undesirable behaviour for
us. What would be the recommended procedure to shutdown a VM without
deleting that instance in a KVM environment?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
Carlos.<br>
