[Xen-users] Shutdown and IPMI

[Sami Kuhmonen <sami@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 server and I installed Xen with Debian on 
it. When I plug the power in, I'm able to access the server via IPMI. 
After I start the machine, IPMI is still available. But when I command a 
shutdown on dom0, it will go down and say "Power down", stay there and 
IPMI is not available anymore. Only after I remove the power cord and 
replug it is the IPMI available.
I have tried both not enabling and enabling IPMI in dom0 configuration, 
but this does not change anything (I don't use IPMI from local machine, 
only from other machines). Also if I try to compile power down via IPMI, 
compilation will complain about missing pm_power_off.
So the main problem is: I cannot shutdown the server nicely. I can 
always command chassis power off from IPMI, but then the dom0 will be 
forcibly shut down, which is not what I want. I can also shut down the 
dom0, but the machine will stay powered on and I cannot reset or power 
off via IPMI.
Anyone else having this kind of problems or knows what's wrong? I 
haven't yet tested this with clean Linux kernel without Xen so I'm a bit 
unsure whether the problem is with Xen or Linux itself. The compilation 
problem would be nice to get fixed though, since then Linux would shut 
the machine down via IPMI at least.
