Re: [ovirt-users] vm shutdown long delay is a problem for users of pools

So he can allocate another VM ​You can consider assigning two VMs per each user, if possible of-course (via WebAdmin->edit Pool -> and set "Maximum number of VMs per user" field to "2") so that way while one VM is still shutting down, the user can switch and connect to a second VM without waiting. Another option is to create a pool with a different policy for console disconnecting so that the VM won't shutdown each time the user close the console (via WebAdmin->Pool->Console tab->"Console Disconnect Action"). Consider changing this field to "Lock screen" or "Logout user" instead of "shutdown virtual machine". This policy will avoid accidentally console disconnection waiting each time...but on the other hand the VM state will remain as is since no shutdown occurs, so it really depends on your requirements.
