I am trying to develop a shutdown procedure to cleanly shutdown my linux
guests, prior to shutting down vm. Reading the documentation in the
virtualization cookbook for SLES10 and the vm CP COMMANDS manual; I have
setup the following :
1. In each linux guest's /etc/inittab; I have changed the shutdown -r to
shutdown -h
2. In my autolog1 exec I have placed the following command:
CP SET SIGNAL SHUTDOWN 1200 ( To allow the guests 20 minutes to
respond)
Note: I have also entered the command manually
When I issue the shutdown, vm shuts down before most if not all linux
guests have responded or completed shutdown; always within a minute or
two. As a result I end up with file corruption in some linux guests
after vm is re-IPLed and the guests are brought back up.
Is there a better way to accomplish a clean linux shutdown.
Thank you,
Bob
