stop with stop script defined

Context: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 8 server with CHARONCharon-AXP V4.8 11 installed, as4100/pluto guest running (not Tru64 and booted). Stop script created and customized, using the "expectssh" utility method (see "VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script") and the expect script with example provided in the kit.

We can see above, the expect utility has been used, did connect to the console, found the SRM prompt (the as4100 was not booted) and then issued a "power off" command.

(warning) This depends of what you decide to display in the guest stop script.

...

  • Option 4 can also be used to edit the .service file to allow you to specify the service description, the auto-restart settings, etc... For more, see "# man systemd.service"

(info) With Linux systems not using systemd (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x), we would have to look into a log file defined in the stop script / output redirection. For more information, see "VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script".
