7.28 stop-domain Command

Use the --stop-domain command to stop the specified Oracle Linux KVM guest.

Syntax

vm_maker --stop-domain { guest_name | --all } [ --force | --destroy ]

Options

• guest_name: The name of the guest to stop.
• --all: Stops all guests instead of a specific one.
• --force: Attempts to flush the cache for the disk image files and immediately shuts down the guest.
• --destroy: Immediately shuts down the guest, without flushing the cache for the disk image files. Use --destroy only as a last resort if the guest is unresponsive.

Usage Notes

Without --force or --destroy, a graceful shutdown occurs.
