Yes, the shutdown functions as I would expect. I'm just questioning why it seems to stay in the list of VM's when all I seem to be able to do is delete the VM. Granted the images are still there, so I can delete the VM, then recreate it again from the template. But it seems like it would be more useful if I could do something else, such as start it up again. I thought maybe I was missing something in the overall lifecycle picture, but maybe not.

From there OpenNebula will move around any persistent or save_as image. Check your guest OS for its ACPI configuration. There is a timeout for the shutdown operation, if the VM is still alive it will return to RUNNING. Cheers Ruben On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 6:04 PM, Gary S.

Using ONE 3.6 and Sunstone GUI, if I click the "shutdown" button, the vm seems to do a clean shutdown via acpi and it stops running. The state is indicated as "SHUTDOWN". From there, the only thing I can seem to do is delete the VM. Any other action I attempt results in a wrong state error. What is the purpose and proper/intended use of the shutdown feature?
