Yes, there is. In SmartOS we attempt to talk to the qemu monitor to
drop an ACPI halt and then wait for that to complete or timeout and

events and for GNU/Linux VMs that usually refers to the acpi daemon
package being installed and active.

Now I need to figure out how to do the same for OpenBSD guests - do
you know?
I think there might be a bug in KVM. OpenBSD shuts down cleanly in
VMWare Fusion and VirtualBox (no additional packages need to be
installed or anything configured), but it's a total lockup/freeze in KVM.
Here's my response to someone else reporting the same problem using a
Debian host, which means it's possibly not illumos-specific:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg123324.html.
Here's yet another report, but it's even less specific and also without
closure:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/57834/how-do-i-send-a-shutdown-event-to-a-qemu-guest-openbsd.
Questions:
1. anyone else notice this behavior? - I'm using AMD, does it happen
on Intel systems too?
2. what's the best list to report the issue to? - Qemu, libvirt?
PS: the KVM guest-support status page doesn't mention anything about
this: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status#OpenBSD
Thanks,
Kent
