Solution to this issue is usually installing acpi on the guest vm and making sure the vm has the following:
<features>
<acpi/>
<apic/>
<pae/>
</features>
I have that, and still the virsh shutdown is not working.
When I have the VM console opened and run the virsh shutdown on the host, the VM console turns to black without any messages.
However, when I run virsh list --all, the vm is still running.
This vm is a centos 7. The host is also a centos 7.
On another vm running ubuntu, when I run the virsh shutdown , I see a prompt on the console asking if I want to shutdown, reboot, etc.
How can I make this not interactive? How can I make the centos 7 vm work?
Thanks.
