You can shut down a guest from within a KVM host.

1. Connect as the root user to the KVM host.
2. Use the following command to shut down the guest, where GuestName is the name of the guest:

   # /opt/exadata_ovm/vm_maker --stop-domain GuestName

   To shut down all guests within the KVM host, use the following command:

   # /opt/exadata_ovm/vm_maker --stop-domain --all

   The following is an example of the output:

   [INFO] Running 'virsh shutdown db01_guest01.example.com'...
   Domain db01_guest01.example.com is being shutdown
