Description

Manual start and stop of managed guests.

Examples

Example1 - Guest stop with no stop script defined

Context: CentOS 7.9 server with Charon-PAR 3.0.1 installed, rp7400 guest running

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

Example2 - Guest stop with stop script defined

Context: CentOS 7.9 server with Charon-PAR 3.0.1 installed, rp7400 guest running HP-UX 11.23 and booted. Stop script created and customized, using the "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 state:

Note:

• Option 5 of the menu can help seeing the result of the shutdown commands
• Option 5 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"
