The message below indicates the guest is still logged onto a terminal. I was told early on that the guest will ONLY logoff if it's running disconnected, no matter what parms you pass.
It (signal shut) works fine for us with all our disconnected machines, but if I shut down from the 3270 console, I always get the disabled wait, like you show below. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Hinson Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] vmpoff=LOGOFF not working in RHEL 5.3?

The reason vmpoff didn't work the first time is that '/sbin/halt' halts the system without doing a true poweroff instruction (thus leaving the system halted but on), whereas '/sbin/poweroff' does a halt+poweroff. 'shutdown -h now' does a poweroff also, which is why that worked the 2nd time. If you have vmpoff=LOGOFF vmhalt=LOGOFF, you have all your bases covered. Any time the system halts, it'll logoff, regardless of whether you run the command to perform an actual poweroff. -Brad > Broadcast message from root (console) (Fri Aug 14 12:01:52 2009): > > The system is going down for system halt NOW! > ... > 00: HCPGSP2629I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP > stop from > CPU 01. > 01: HCPGSP2630I The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP > stop and > store status from CPU 01. > > The user ID remains logged on.
