Killed virtual machine rebooting by itself - VM Server V.3.0.2
918724May 25 2012 — edited Jun 7 2012I am running a server pool with a single admin server. I have a VM that got a corrupted OS, so I am trying to shut it down and keep it turned off, to be able to delete it from the pool.
This VM has a clone, but they are not setup to run as HA or to mirror each other.
The clone is not thin provisioned.
The VM OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Whenever I logon to the main VM, not the clone, I initiate a shutdown. The machine appears to beging to shut down normally, and then reboots immediately, by itself.
If I use the shut down, kill, or suspend buttons in Virtual Manager, they initiate their respective commands, and then the machine reboots itself again with no gap in the running of the instance.
I don't get enough time to initiate a delete command on the VM (I get the error that the instance is still running), and I am not getting any errors logged in Virtual Manager to indicate anything wrong that might cause this behavior.
I have tried rebooting the VM manager, and the server, but still get this behavior.
How can I kill this VM, and leave any of the other VMs intact?
