Dear users,
I am trying to compare the 8.2 i386 PV mode and 9.0 amd64 hvm mode,
regarding
$ xm shutdown
from outside.
While 8.2 PV shuts down well, 9.0 hvm does not. Is it an issue of the xen
hypervisor, or of freebsd?
What experience do others have?
Thanks in advance,

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

it
issues an

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.
