The "CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN" command has helped to clarify our problem. It
appear that the problem may be in the way linux shuts itself dowm. With t
he
command, it appear that everthing works as designed from a vm standpoint;
however linux never seems to complete it's shutdown. Although a guest is
given 30 minutes to complete it's shutdown, linux appear to send a shutdo
wn
complete message back to vm within 30 seconds. We have the "shutdown -h"
in
the inittab. in our systems, Oracle is in the process of shutting down wh
en
linux pulls the plug. How do any of you handle oracle/linux shutdown. Bel
ow
is a listing of the linux log for one of the guests shutting down. Is it
similar to what you see :
