Libvirt: Can't shutdown or reboot virtual guest
10,538
This command sends an ACPI shutdown to the guest. If the guest cannot understand those, nothing will happen.
Make sure you have acpid working in the guest. You can set up acpid in your guest with commands like this:
yum install acpid
chkconfig acpid on
service acpid start
Once acpid is installed, you should be able to use virsh or other libvirt-compatible tools to shutdown or reboot your guest.

facha almost 12 yearsI'm seeing lots of messages on old forums and mailing lists that this has something to do with ACPI. I have it enabled both on host and guest vm. Is there anything else I can check?
