Hi ! I have a shell script running on all servers which intercepts power off signal (in case of power failure). Is it safe to use direct KVM “virsh” commands to force guest shutdown on oVirt nodes, bypassing oVirt engine ? “shutdown now” directly on oVirt nodes v4.2.6 takes an enormous amount of time because for whatever reason guests can’t be suspended. My nodes installed on CentOS 7.5, I’m not using pre-packaged version because each consecutive upgrade simply wipes out all my mods. Thanks in advance. Andrei PS. I found this script to shutdown KVM guests: *************************************** #!/bin/bash # https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/8796/make-libvirt-to-shutdown-my-g...
