Anyone experience issues with Windows VMs, Server 2016 and 2019 in my case, not respecting a “Guest Shutdown” action if there hasn’t been any console activity for a while? This occurs with a Prism GUI shutdown or an API call to v2/vms/{uuid}/set_power_state

Is there a setting within Windows that is preventing this or is it a Nutanix issue? Thanks.

Hi EricUMD,

Are you running on AHV?  If so this article can be useful KB-5828 AHV | Power actions initiated from Prism or API may fail for Windows VMs.

 

Let me know if this helps, please.

It was changing the screen to never turn off in my case. Thanks again.
