Description of problem: If a VM is running when xend is restarted, and the VM is then shutdown, the VM will go to Zombie state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) - 2.6.18-92.el5xen How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a new RH5.2 (64-bit) host with Xen 2. Use virt-manager to create a new VM 3. Start the VM from virt-manager 4. Run "/sbin/service xend restart" 5. Shutdown the VM from virt-manager Actual results: The virt-manager GUI will display the VM constantly switching between the on and off state. The "virsh list" command will show the VM in Zombie state. Expected results: The VM should shutdown successfully without entering into a Zombie state. Additional info:
Hello Will, I need more information as I was not able to reproduce this bug. What is the type of virtual machine you are creating? Is it a fully virtualized machine or a paravirtualized one? What operating system is running inside the VM? Could you, please, also share exact version number of xen package? In addition, VM's configuration file (/etc/xen/VM_name) and messages written to /var/log/xen/xend.log and /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log after you tell virt-manager to shutdown the VM would be really helpful. Please, send these as attachments to this bug. Thanks Jiri Denemark
Hi Jiri, Here are the information you need, I do this on behalf of Will. Type of VM: Fully virtualized machine Guest OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6) 64bits Version number of Xen package: $ rpm -qa | grep xen kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-92.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5 xen-devel-3.0.3-64.el5 xen-devel-3.0.3-64.el5 xen-3.0.3-64.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 Output of "virsh list" when this problem occurs: $ virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 0 Domain-0 running 2 Zombie-rhel46_full_virt64 no state I have checked there are no any messages written to /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log when this problem occurs, I will attach VM's configuration file and /var/log/xen/xend.log later. Regards, Qian

In the attached Xend.log, you see I started a VM at 20:33:20, restarted Xend service at 20:36:02, and shutdown the VM at 20:37:57, then this problem occured. Regards, Qian
