I've narrowed the issue to the xend and xendomains daemons.

On one of my systems I was able to init 6 and init 0 no problem, then
suddenly I could not, when this occurred, CPU utilization was 100% on
one CPU on the host with the guest said either Restarting System or
System Halted.   After some investigation I found that if I
restarted the xend and xendomains services I could once again init 0
and init 6.

 I usually use xm reboot from the host. You can also use reboot from within
 the guest. I remember *one* occurence quite a few months back where after
 an update I had problems to shut a VM down. But it happened only that one
 time. Note, there is a centos-virt list.

Thanks for this tip, I have signed up on the centos-virt list.

[CentOS] Rebooting CentOS 5.2 XEN Guest

2008-10-09 Thread Brett Serkez
All,

I have CentOS 5.2 XEN guests running on a CentOS 5.2 host.

At one time when I issued an 'init 6' in one of the XEN guests it
rebooted  Now it seems to halt but virt-manager shows it as still
running and the only way to get the guest to boot is to destroy the
virtual machine and start it again.

Unfortunately I didn't notice precisely when this change in behavior
occurred, I believe it was the last 'yum update' that included a new
XEN kernel, but I cannot say for sure.

Has anyone else noticed this change in behavior?  Any solutions to
restore the older behavior, being able to 'init 6' the virtual machine
was very useful.

Thank you,

Brett
