That is a bit strange. Check the /etc/default/xendomains and see what the behaviours are set to... it shouldn't leave the domains running but maybe is set to save but save is failing?

I see, totally forgot about that file. ÂAll set to defaults, and `XENDOMAINS_SAVE` is set to `/var/lib/xen/save`, should I set it to an empty string?

When you say 'locks up' do you mean dom0 gets part way through the shutdown tasks then hangs waiting for xen services to shut down?

I mean if I run `shutdown -r "now"` with running domains it goes through all the shutdown messages and then simply stops at the last message, and sits there. ÂSince after the shutdown commands are run I can't interact with the machine I can't exactly do much about it, but if I shut down the machines first manually then run the shutdown command it reboots without a problem.

What Windows OS and what version of GPLPV? Sounds like a bug but I've disabled and enabled adapters lots of times without problems...

I am using GPLPV 11.0.357.

I had the same problems on Windows 7 but am currently using Windows 8.

At first I thought it was a misconfigured vif, but after trying every combination of options without any changes I think it must be something else. ÂI have attached my windows CFG to this email.
