I know next to nothing about Linux (but am trying to learn). Now that we have that out of the way ...
I have an i5 - quad core 3.3Ghz, 16GB, 1TB SATA drives running (as plain as possible) Windows 7 Ultimate x64host - current on patches. On top of that I am running VMware Workstation v8 - VMware-workstation-full-8.0.2-591240 (latest update). I have downloaded and installed http://ftp.telus.net/pub/centos/6.2/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso as a guest VM. I also installed the VMware tools into this CentOS installation. The issue I'm facing is when I attempt to shutdown or restart CentOS, I am presented a black (non-graphical) screen with : Shutting Down...Running guests on default URI: (if it's a restart, replace "Shutting Down" with "Restarting") and it just sits there. Every other VM (including Windows 7, Red Hat v6.2 and Fedora 16) shuts down "properly" and "powers off" the VM. I did some searching on that text and came up with a few indications that it was something to do with Linux's Virtual environment .... possibly a bug in earlier versions. I did a - yum remove *virt* - which did nothing to affect my issue. Any (easy to follow  ) suggestions? Cheers, Art |

What does `yum list \*virt\*` say? |

Sorry, I think I did a - yum remove virt* - and installed that virt-what today ... it comes back and says vmware.

You are inappropriately installing the hypervisor tools inside a virtual machine. I don't know if that is the cause of the shutdown issue, but it is certainly not a good thing to do.

Pardon? VMware Tools is an appropriate thing to install. Other than that, I didn't intentionally select any other hypervisor tools and tried to remove virt* things. What needs to be removed, or installed "appropriately"? Cheers, Art |

Pardon me, but nothing listed in post #3 is from VMware Tools.

Remove all that libvirt\* set of packages, none of them should be installed on a client. The virt-what utility just tells you which virtualization package your guest is running underneath - your case you are apparently on a VMWare virtual machine.

> Shutting Down...Running guests on default URI:
I just went through this myself running CentOS 6.2 64-bit under a VMware Workstation 8.0.2 host (Windows-7). If your issue is the same as mine, then this is a bug in the VMware Workstation 8.0.2 BIOS. See the thread at http://communities.vmware.com/thread/391186?tstart=0 . In my case, I tried the workaround of changing vcpu.hotadd = "TRUE" to vcpu.hotadd = "FALSE" in the VMs .vmx file and this solved my issue. I was even able to start a nested Guest VM after this. Alternately (if you don't care about getting nested Virtualization working), I found another way to avoid the shutdown issue. I discovered that I could just disable and stop the libvirt-guest service (from the System/Services panel) to avoid the shutdown issue (before I changed the VMware VMs .vmx file). Good Luck. |

First report I've seen on nested virtualization working - apparently a recent development, but still seems rather bleeding-edge.

I had chosen the "Software Development Workstation" installation option and it included the virtualization software ... and also enabled it by default. Cheers, Art |

Disabling the service "fixed" my issue. I will leave the virtualization software there and try the vm fix ... see if I can get nested vm's working. Perhaps the hypervisor shouldn't be enabled by default on installation? Thanks, Art |

I've noticed that, and generally find I get a configuration to suit my needs better by choosing Desktop and then adding development tools, particularly in a VM. Quote:
That should get interesting. Last time I tried it all I managed was to lock up the guest. Quote:
I agree, but apparently upstream thinks differently. It might also be good if the installer could detect if it was running on a virtualized system and adapt accordingly, but it currently does not, at least on VirtualBox or VMware. |
