• Symptom:

    Generally, VM instances whose Guest OS is Linux take a long time to be stopped for lack of the ACPID service (a daemon designed to process power-related events). By default, KVM VM instances with Linux do not have the ACPID service. Therefore, this service is unavailable. In other words, ZStack will force to kill the progresses of these VM instances after these VM instances are stopped for one minute.

  • Solution:
    In this case, only ensure that you have installed and enabled the ACPID service in these VM instances. Run the following commands:
    [root@kvm_client_00 ~]# yum install acpid -y
# Reenable the ACPID service. That is, after ACPID installation, the service defaults to be enabled when the VM instance starts.
[root@kvm_client_00 ~]# /etc/init.d/acpid restart
