BTW: I tried today with ovirt 3.2.1 and it is not possible to
interrupt shutdown, at least with "shutdown -c" command

With agent inside a CentOS 6.4 VM the comamnd run is:

[root@c2 ~]# ps -ef|grep shut
root 15767  1581  0 23:39 ?00:00:00 rhev-shutdown -h +1
"System Administrator has initiated shutdown of this Virtual Machine.
Virtual Machine is shutting down."
root 15768 15767  0 23:39 ?00:00:00 [shutdown] 
root 15799 15781  0 23:40 pts/000:00:00 grep shut

If you try to cancel it with
shutdown -c

you get

shutdown: Cannot find pid of running shutdown

I don't know if Michal meant instead to kill the pid processes
themselves (15767 and and 15768 in my case)

From all the said above seems that indeed default shut-down time should be 0
But we need to be able to set shut-down policy per VM/Cluster/Something that 
will override the global config. One time fits all does not sound reasonable. 

I would say that for Desktop use case you'll probably want to allow the User 
some time to finish up things, while for Server you won't care. Etc

If you don't want it setting user_shutdown_timeout to 0 should solve this.

it is rounded up because unix shutdown works with minutes only. So it's the 
seconds from user_shutdown_timeout is rounded up to minutes.
The Windows one should really be 30s.

It can be stopped inside the guest, well, if you manage to do that in that 
short time.

For that typically sysadmins use 5 or 10 minutes. 30s is worthless, no one 
would be able to react that fast…so to me this is the same as initiating 
shutdown right away. It's graceful anyway and all common apps would save the 
workspace on SIGTERM anyway. Well, does it even do anything on Windows?
That's why I'd vote for 0. And keep is configurable in case you want to use it, 
sure.

+1

FWIW:
Using VMware since many years and there, when VMware tools are
installed, shutdown is immediate and didn't hear anyone complaining
about it.

The idea was to allow a logged in user to orderly close his work right?
For that I'm not sure that even 30 seconds is enough. 

So this shutdown grace period really depend if there are users connected to the 
VM or not. 
The question is how to easily distinguish - maybe depend on a spice session 
connection? That may be too heuristic.

But in any case the timeout should be per configuration and not be 
up-to-doubled in the code.

I wouldn't mind changing this to 0 by default if there are no objections.
Barak, Gal, what do you think? Do you see any strong reason for keeping a grace 
period?

not cleared and when it comes back up only root can login until the
/etc/nologin file is cleared.

hmmm, Vinzenz - should guest agent clear that on guest startup, if guest agent 
set this at shutdown?

It's not guest agent, "shutdown" does it. It behaves the same on real hw


Is their some some reason the shutdown time is set to 30 seconds
(rounded up to 1 minute in the code)?  Are there any know issues with
setting this to 0?

Vinzenz - if we are rounding up - is this a bug?

possibly yes

Sounds pretty much like a bug to me




Is this the right way to change it to 0?
psql engine postgres -c "update vdc_options set option_value = '0' where
option_name = 'VmGracefulShutdownTimeout';"

notmally the grace period is there for other users to react befor shutdown starts. I 
wonder if it's that much relevant here.., if we assume single user most of the time 0 
(i.e. "now") should be ok

Since the shutdown command is called with time parameter the VM sets the

not cleared and when it comes back up only root can login until the
/etc/nologin file is cleared.

[Users] forced shutdown with client agent

2013-03-28 Thread Thomas Scofield
I have run into a scenario after installing the client agent.  If a VM is
shutdown, the client agent calls the shutdown command with a 1 minute
timeout.

Dummy-2::INFO::2013-03-28 14:05:21,892::vdsAgentLogic::138::root::Shutting
down (timeout = 30, message = 'System Administrator has initiated shutdown
of this Virtual Machine. Virtual Machine is shutting down.'

Since the shutdown command is called with time parameter the VM sets the
/etc/nologin file. When the VM is forced down the /etc/nologin file is not
cleared and when it comes back up only root can login until the
/etc/nologin file is cleared.

Is their some some reason the shutdown time is set to 30 seconds (rounded
up to 1 minute in the code)?  Are there any know issues with setting this
to 0?

Is this the right way to change it to 0?
psql engine postgres -c "update vdc_options set option_value = '0' where
option_name = 'VmGracefulShutdownTimeout';"
