Dear Colin,
I am not familiar with the method, but what happens exactly when I
issue xm shutdown on the host ?
How does the inner guest handle it? Does it simply send a signal to init,
or does to host emulate the press of the power button?
Thanks in advance,

Dear Colin,
My config for this domain is here:
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
name = 'db.real-charts.com'
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
cpus = '1-3'
disk = [
'phy:/dev/sys/db.real-charts.com-root,xvda,w',
'phy:/dev/sys/db.real-charts.com-swap,xvdb,w',
'phy:/dev/sys/db.real-charts.com-tmp,xvdc,w',
'phy:/dev/sys/db.real-charts.com-var,xvdd,w',
'phy:/dev/sys/db.real-charts.com-usr,xvde,w'
]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:04:01,bridge=eth0' ]
vnc = 1
boot = "c"
stdvga = 1
localtime = 0
hpet = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
pae = 1
usb = 0
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
But as I read the documentation, on_poweroff means what to do when the domain
powers itself off. But for me it seems, that xen sends a halt to the freebsd
domain, exactly as if I issue a
# halt
In that case, the domain does halt, and shows that the system is halted, and
press any key to reboot. Unfortunately I dont have a freebsd on real
hardware, so I dont know if issue a halt on that does it powers itself off.
But when inside the domain, and I issue poweroff, it works as expected, I
guess it sends an acpi poweroff to xen, and then tha virtual machine gets
stopped.

I am looking for a solution to be able to shutdown my freebsd 9.0 amd64

domain from outside, from the host. Precisely, when the host is halted, it
issues an
# xm shutdown domain --halt --wait
to the domain, and the domain does not poweroff. It behaves as if I issue
a halt
inside of it, and not a poweroff. Is there a way to have it power down
itself?
That sounds like a Xen configuration issue ("poweroff behaviour"?) rather
than a
FreeBSD issue to me.
