The following methods can be used to shut down the QNX hypervisor:
- If the QNX hypervisor encounters an undefined state,
it will move to its Design Safe State (DSS); for details, see
“Design Safe States”
in the “QNX Hypervisor: Protection Features” chapter.
- All mechanisms available for shutting down or rebooting the QNX OS (e.g.,
slay -s SIGTERM qvm) are available to the QNX hypervisor.
These mechanisms are available to applications running in the hypervisor host
domain but not to guests or their applications.
For instructions on how to shut down hypervisor guests, see “Shutting down guests”.
