libvirt guests graceful shutdown upon hosts powerdown/reboot
hi everybody by an assumption I expected VM guests to be shut down/off gracefully when the host is being powered down or rebooted, but this does not seem to be the case so I wonder.. Am I missing some libvirt components/packages ? Or my assumption is incorrect and guests have to be shutdown manually? it's all SL 7 and guest are M$ regards P.
Re: libvirt guests graceful shutdown upon hosts powerdown/reboot
Hi, IMHO, the libvirt-guests init script which is part of libvirt-client rpm package should take care of suspending the guests upon shutdown procedure? -- *Karel Lang* On 10/22/2014 11:58 AM, lejeczek wrote: hi everybody by an assumption I expected VM guests to be shut down/off gracefully when the host is being powered down or rebooted, but this does not seem to be the case so I wonder..

RE: libvirt guests graceful shutdown upon hosts powerdown/reboot
Hi In SL6 /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guets defaulted to suspend the guests, so I changed it to shutdown guets with: ON_BOOT=ignore ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN=6 SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=90 It looks like SL7 has the same settings, but I haven't tried them yet.

kickstart packages question
Trying to figure out how to set up a kickstart %packages section for SL7. If I put in a group to be installed that includes a package I don't want to install what's the proper way to set that up? My tests so far haven't revealed a good solution. It seems like if I specify a group, but them exclude a package that is in that group the whole group gets excluded. For instance, I want @gnome-desktop-environment to be installed it will pull in the @internet-browser group which includes firefox. I don't want the firefox package to be installed. I added -firefox so it would be excluded but the test I did seemed to have excluded @gnome-desktop-environment. How do I get the desktop without the firefox package. I suppose I could figure out all the different packages I want and include them by package name instead of the group but that seems like a lot of extra work in the kickstart. -- Stephen Berg Systems Administrator NRL Code: 7320 Office: 228-688-5738 stephen.berg@nrlssc.navy.mil

Not sure about proper, but I have found that -Package in the %packages section rarely does what I want. So I just remove unwanted stuff in the %post section like so: rpm -e Package or yum --disablerepo=\* --assumeyes remove Package The former will fail if Package is required by something else installed on the system. The latter will remove Package and everything that requires it, recursively. - Pat
kickstart to install to whole disk
Hi all, I'm wondering - I'm looking to simplify my Xen DomU installation via a kickstart file... As my Xen config has /dev/xvda - which should be formatted as ext4 and used as / - is there any options that I can achieve this? Just about everything I've stumbled across does partitioning first - and not the entire disk. Without supplying a kickstart file, the installer will bail saying no disks found. It's been this way for MANY years, but I heard rumours of a magical kickstart option - but I can't seem to find it... -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
