Due to the absence of stop script, the service receives a SIGKILL signal and then, once stopped, is considered as failed:

Depending on preferences that have been set, the log will be displayed:

The error message above (white/red) is expected the first time the virtual machine is started. It tells the .bin file does not exist as it is initialized when console parameters are set

The FAILED status is the result of the lack of stop script, as there's no way to know a clean shutdown of the legacy operating system was done. To solve this issue and have an INACTIVE state when a virtual machine is stopped, please define a stop script as explained below. |

Example2 - Guest stop with stop script defined
Context: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 9 server with CHARONCharon-AXP V4.8 11 installed, as4100/pluto guest running Tru64 and booted. Stop script created and customized, using the "rsh
ssh" method (see "VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script") with example provided in the kit.
...
We can see below the guest has been properly stopped and is now in INACTIVE / REQUESTED and not in FAILED state:
As we are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 server, systemd
allows us to check the status of the service.
Use option Notes:
- Option 4 of the menu can help seeing the result of the shutdown commands
...
We can see above, the rsh
utility has been used, did initiate a shutdown that was successfull. As the shutdown does not power off the virtual machine, when the Tru64 system does not respond to ping, the service is stopped.
...
- 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
