I believe that I may have found something that could be causing my quick
shutdowns. I issued the following commands with results :
Q SHUTDOWN
System shutdown time: 30 seconds
Q SIGNAL SHUTDOWN
System default shutdown signal timeout: 1200 seconds
Even though I enter the following command :
CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN ZORACLE2 WITHIN 1800
could vm be using the system shutdown time of 30 seconds when it
receives a response from a guest. This might explain why all all guests
appear to shutdown within 30 seconds. If I increase that value to say
1800 with a "CP SET SHUTDOWNTIME 1800", might this correct my problem ?
Thanks, Bob

David,
The reboot was 3 hours later when the guest was manually brought up
after the corrupted filesystem was fixed. The last message received at
shutdown was :
Jun 7 02:02:48 zoracle2 syslog-ng[1780]: syslog-ng version 1.6.8 going
down
We did not have vmpoff=LOGOFF in the parm lines. The linux guests were
in a vm DSC status. We were not logged into any of them. I did notice
however that the guests were all logged off of vm once the vm
termination message was received.
Thanks, Bob

But your example shows a automatic reboot and the system trying to come
back up. Something else is wrong... do you specify vmpoff=LOGOFF in your
parm lines? You want the virtual machine to log off when it's done.
