<p dir="auto">When I reboot the host, I have to use the Force Restart Host feature due to the "no hosts available" error that happens when just using the Restart Host function.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I used the Force Restart, and what I observed is :</p>
<p dir="auto">Linux vms all shutdown cleanly (status turns orange)<br />
Windows vm's appear to have been forced shutdown (no orange status).<br />
XOA vm shutdown (clean)<br />
Host restarted.</p>
<p dir="auto">This host took probably &lt; than a minute to shutdown (amd gen 3 all nvme, it's fast).</p>
<p dir="auto">All the vms have the xcp-ng client tools installed. All patches installed on host. If I manually shutdown a windows vm from XO then it does shutdown cleanly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Using XO from source (2dbe35a31c4742d0ee79e40eef43e53bcef4615f) built 12 march. Looking at the commit history I don't see any changes around this area.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have rebuilt XO from the latest commit today, but cannot restart the host again at the moment - and I have concerns about screwing up the windows vms doing this too often (I do have backups but still) - windows is fragile!</p>
<p dir="auto">Before I create an issue on github, is this as designed or a bug? My expectation would be that all vms with the client tools installed would be shutdown cleanly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there something I can look for in the log files?</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not XO related but XCP-ng related <img src="https://xcp-ng.org/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=bbd7a2dd886" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>
