Issue Q SIGNALS, Q SHUTDOWN, Q SIGNAL SHUTDOWNTIME from your VM system
and post those here.
What does your /etc/zipl.conf look like? Post that too.
IIRC, there wasn't anything needed on SLES 10. I for sure didn't
change anything in /etc/inittab on SLES 10.

Mike,
Per the linux doc for SLES10 it states that the following change be
made :
In each linux guest's /etc/inittab; I have changed the shutdown -r to
shutdown -h
Is there something else from a linux standpoint that needs to be done
?
Thank you,
Bob

Subject: Re: Clean Linux Guest Shutdown
Have you updated each Linux guest so that they are registered to receive
and respond to the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN service?
Check your Linux distribution for the proper means to register for the
SIGNAL SHUTDOWN service, and how to respond appropriately.

Clean Linux Guest Shutdown
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
