Clean Shutdown

[chop]

Hello,

We are currently testing 2x and hyper-v for windows 7 vdi's, we have been looking at shutting down vdi's once they been finished with, this is reduce the foot print and usage on the hyper-v hosts. Have tried save, stop and suspend. Both have problems:

Save: Saves the state, but it can take the same amount of time to access a vdi as a fresh boot vdi

Suspend: Enters the machine into a pause state (so same as above)

Stop: just turns off the vdi and then on boot we have the usual selection of safe mode etc

Any ideas?

Chris

Nope cannot get the machines to cleanly shutdown, so have to keep them in current state as I dont trust saved provision.

Have just upgraded to the latest version and still have the same issue!!

VDI (Windows 7 Enterprise SP1)
VDI Host (Windows 2008 SP1 - HyperV)

Cheers
