Sometimes you just can’t get a VM to shutdown, it maybe an issue with XenTools or sun spots. Here is a list of commands that will help you get that damn thing shutdown.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Disable High\u00a0Availability\u00a0(HA) so you don’t run into issues<\/li>\n
  2. Log into the Xenserver host that is running your VM with issues via ssh or\u00a0console\u00a0via XenCenter<\/li>\n
  3. Run the following command to list VMs and their UUIDs
    \nxe vm-list<\/code><\/li>\n
  4. First you can try just the normal shutdown command with force
    \nxe vm-shutdown uuid=<UUID from step 3> force=true<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. If that just hangs, use CONTROL+C to kill it off and try to reset the power state. \u00a0The force is required on this command
    \nxe\u00a0vm-reset-powerstate\u00a0\u00a0uuid=<UUID from step 3> force=true<\/code><\/li>\n
  6. If the VM is still not shutdown, we may need to destroy the domain<\/li>\n
  7. Run this command to get the domain id of the VM. \u00a0It is the number in the first row of output
    \nlist_domains<\/code><\/li>\n
  8. Now run this command using the domain ID from the output of step 7
    \nBefore XenServer 7.x:
    \n\/opt\/xensource\/debug\/xenops destroy_domain -domid <DOMID from step 7><\/code>
    \nXenServer 7.x and greater:
    \nxl destroy\u00a0<DOMID from step 7><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
