Running virsh while having /var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests file open
makes SELinux emit messages about preventing virsh from reading that
file. Since virsh doesn't really want to read anything, it's better to
run it with /dev/null on stdin to prevent those messages.
Firstly, the init script has to touch its file under /var/lock/subsys
when started, otherwise the system would think it's not running and
won't stop it during shutdown.
Secondly, for some reason there is a policy to automatically enable
init scripts when they are installed, so let the specfile do this. We
also need to start the init script to ensure it will be stopped during
the first shutdown after installing the package.
Also $LISTFILE should be enclosed by quotes everywhere as suggested by
Eric.
Example output during shutdown:
Running guests on default URI: console, rhel6-1, rhel5-64
Running guests on lxc:/// URI: lxc-shell
Running guests on xen:/// URI: error: no hypervisor driver available for xen:///
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
Running guests on vbox+tcp://orkuz/system URI: no running guests.
Suspending guests on default URI...
Suspending console: done
Suspending rhel6-1: done
Suspending rhel5-64: done
Suspending guests on lxc:/// URI...
Suspending lxc-shell: error: Failed to save domain 9cba8bfb-56f4-6589-2d12-8a58c886dd3b state
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainManagedSave
Note, the "Suspending $guest: " shows progress during the suspend phase
if domjobinfo gives meaningful output.
Example output during boot:
Resuming guests on default URI...
Resuming guest rhel6-1: done
Resuming guest rhel5-64: done
Resuming guest console: done
Resuming guests on lxc:/// URI...
Resuming guest lxc-shell: already active
Configuration used for generating the examples above:
URIS='default lxc:/// xen:/// vbox+tcp://orkuz/system'
The script uses /var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests files to note all active
guest it should try to resume on next boot. It's content looks like:
default 7f8b9d93-30e1-f0b9-47a7-cb408482654b 085b4c95-5da2-e8e1-712f-6ea6a4156af2 fb4d8360-5305-df3a-2da1-07d682891b8c
lxc:/// 9cba8bfb-56f4-6589-2d12-8a58c886dd3b
