[Bug 350936] Re: Should shut down domains on system shutdown

[Andy]

So does this mean that KVM is not properly supported on Ubuntu 10.04
Server LTS?  The ability to automatically shutdown VMs when someone logs
into a production host server and types /sbin/shutdown does not exist on
a server operating sytstem flagged LTS that is supposed to be for
production?   This can't be.  There must be something that is being
overlooked here.

I tried creating a simple traditional sys5 init script to test this out
after the script I wrote failed to shutdown the guests on reboot or
shutdown but works manually from the command line.

[code]

!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          virsh test 
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop: 
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Gracefull shutdown of all KVM guests.
# Description: Shutdown KVM guests on host shutdown 
### END INIT INFO

/usr/bin/virsh list >>/var/log/kvmguest.log 2>&1

[/code]

this works when i run it manually. 
I created a link from /etc/init.d/testscript to /etc/rc6.d/K5testscript. 
reboot server.  

and I get this message in the log
error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

So ofcourse the guests are not shutdown gracefully on host shutdown.   A
very basic feature of running a virtual machine server.  Wow. Just WOW!
