I saved a domain and ended up with a Zombie-migrating domain:

x235:~ # xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      250     1 r-----  5518.8
vm1                                1      127     1 ------  2564.9
Zombie-migrating-vm2               2        0     1 ---s-d  1292.4
vm3                                3      127     1 ------  1683.5
vm4                                4      127     1 ------  1783.8
vm5                                5      127     1 r-----  1615.0
vm2                                6      126     1 ------    10.9

At first I thought it was a temporary state, but after an hour or so, it is still there. I later restored it (vm2) successfully, but the zombie is still there.

  Hi,

How can I figure why some domain is still in zombie state, like these ones:

  master-xen root /vm/ttylinux# xm list
  Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
  Domain-0                           0      574     1 r-----    90.5
  Zombie-small-11                   28        0     1 ---s-d     0.9
  Zombie-small-17                   34        0     1 ---s-d     0.5
  Zombie-small-18                   35        0     1 ---s-d     0.6
  Zombie-small-19                   36        0     1 ---s-d     0.5

I've created 16 ttylinux instances with a script, then called "xm shutdown -a -w", then ended up with these four Zombies ...

  Gerd
