Solaris VM can't be poweroff
Thank you forgive my poor English.
It seems KVM can’t poweroff solairs 10 or sloalrs 11 VM.
I have created solaris 10 and 11 as usual. Everything in VM is running OK, but finally I use shell command ‘poweroff’ or ‘init 5’, the solaris VM (both 10 & 11) system could’t be poweroff but with promoting me the message: perss any key to reboot ….. ,I pressed any key in vnc client, solaris VM reboot immediately. Endless reboot loop above.
I doubt ACPI a little bit in KVM.
I have try the suggestion as follows, but I can’t solve the problem.
7.2 Solaris reboot all the time on grub menu
• Run through the installer as usual
• On completion and reboot, the VM will perpetually reboot. "Stop" the VM.
• Start it up again, and immediately open a vnc console and select the Safe Boot from the options screen
• When prompted if you want to try and recover the boot block, say yes
• You should now have a Bourne terminal with your existing filesystem mounted on /a
• Run /a/usr/bin/bash (my preferred shell)
• export TERM=xterm
• vi /a/boot/
Config File : /a/boot/
kernel$ /platform/
According to KVM requirements, I collected the following information:
CPU model name
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3450 @ 2.67GHz
kvm -version
QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.3 (qemu-kvm-0.12.3), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
Host kernel version
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 2.6.32-25-server
What host kernel arch you are using (i386 or x86_64)
X86_64
Guest OS
Solaris 10 and Solaris 11,both can not shutdown
The qemu command line you are using to start the guest
First, I used the command line as follows:
kvm -m 1024 -drive file=solaris10.
then I try to use -no-kvm-irqchip or -no-kvm ,but the problem also appears!
Secondly, have created and run solaris 10&11 by using Virsh, still solaris can't be poweroff, the XML file content is :
