Working in XenVM operation Systems on Server Units

5.6.4 Setting VM options
The VM options tab provides the following functions:
● Display or change remaining runtime for shutdown (globally for XenVMs)
● Display and change the XenVMs' auto start settings
Detailed information on the VM options tab is provided in the SE Manager help.
5.6.4.1 Defining the remaining runtime for shutdown
The remaining runtime is the time available to the systems on the XenVMs to shut
themselves down when the Server Unit shuts down. The remaining runtime is only of any
significance when the Server Unit is shut down or restarted.
You define the remaining runtime globally for all XenVMs. When the Server Unit is shut
down or restarted, all XenVMs receive the termination signal to shut themselves down
within the remaining runtime. After the remaining runtime has elapsed, XenVMs which are
still running are forced to shut down.
The value 00:00 means that no remaining runtime is defined, i.e. in the event of a shutdown
or restart the system always waits for the XenVMs to shut down. However, you are
recommended to define a remaining runtime. Otherwise a guest system which encounters
an error when it shuts down can prevent the Server Unit from being powered off or restarted
since no hard termination takes place with a remaining runtime of 0 (the system waits until
all XenVMs have terminated).
