VM Guest detached from VM control

[rclimit]

I'm running IVM 4.3 and increased the size of memory from 8G with hpvmmodify -P guestname -r 16G on the host.  Then issued a shutdown -r inside the guest.  The guest seemingly went down and did not boot back up. 

Now:

- hpvmconsole will not connect to guest (no message, just hangs, can ctrl-c out though)

- hpvmstart says the guest is already running

- hpvmstop says the guest is not running.

- the hpvmapp process is still running

- hpvmstatus shows the guest as Off

The guest is not responding to signals from kill. Neither -15 nor -9.

Tried:  hpvmconsole -P guestname -q -c tc -fi     # and it just sits there with no effect

Any ideas how to reconnect or force kill the guest?

-> Did you try ctrl-b?

-> Does "hpvmstatus -P guestname -V " show you additional information?

hpvmstatus shows everything as normal for a guest that is turned off...

We seem to have gotten the guests to start playing nice again.

What we had initially was the host at 4.20.5 and a couple guests that had been install with version 4.30.

The host was patched to 4.30 and that's when guests started hanging.

Re-installing the same version of the Guest Kit on the guest seems to have cleared it up. 

If anyone knows why this is, I'm all ears  :) 

Once that was seemingly stablized, we still have an issue where the guests network (AVIO_LAN -> APA) pauses for 10 seconds every 40-70seconds.  But new AVIO drivers came out in January, we just started looking at those.

Thanks for your reply.
