Description Tim Flink 2011-10-13 15:41:42 UTC
Created attachment 528059 [details]
screenshot of xm, virsh and virt-manager showing status

Description of problem:
When I shutdown a xen guest, vmm still shows it as running even though virsh and xm don't (see attached screenshot).

This means that I can't start the domain from virt-manager again because the only options are shutdown related (pause, force-off etc.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-6.fc16

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Xen domain
2. stop xen domain
  
Actual results:
xen domain still shows up as running in virt-manager after it has been stopped and the domain cannot be "powered on" from virt-manager

Expected results:
Xen domain shows up as stopped in virt-manager, able to "power on" domain from virt-manager

Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2012-01-29 18:51:55 UTC
This is a libvirt issue, present in f16 and current upstream. The issue is that invoking shutdown() on a xen guest leaves it reporting domain state 0 (unknown) for the vm object that was shut down. However, if you re-fetch the domain object, it reports the correct state of 5 (shutoff). So something is funky in xen or the xen driver.

This doesn't seem to affect the 'destroy'/'force poweroff' command

Reproducer:

$ cat test.py 
import libvirt
import time

conn = "xen:///"
vmname = "xenlivecd"

conn = libvirt.open(conn)
vm = conn.lookupByName(vmname)

if vm.info()[0] == libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF:
    print "Starting %s" % vmname
    vm.create()
    time.sleep(5)

print "Shutting off %s" % vmname
vm.shutdown()
time.sleep(5)

print "Domain state is %s" % vm.info()[0]
print "Refreshed domain state is %s" % conn.lookupByName(vmname).info()[0]
print "Old domain is still %s" % vm.info()[0]

$ sudo python test.py 
Starting xenlivecd
Shutting off xenlivecd
Domain state is 0
Refreshed domain state is 5
Old domain is still 0


Reassigning to libvirt but this could be a xen issue.
