      I have installed pfSense under KVM and libvirt - works well for my purposes.

      The only issue I have is with shutting down pfSense remotely/automatically:

      • ACPI shutdown (virsh shutdown pfsense) does not yield any result

      • "ssh root@pfsense.domain shutdown -h now" just gives me the pfsense terminal menu, but does not seem to execute the shutdown

      Is there any way to get a gentle shutdown working? "virsh destroy pfsense" works, but is not really nice, as it might corrupt things.

      Thanks.

      pfSense+ 23.01 on Netgate SG-2100 (replaced SG-2440)
      pfSense 2.6 on Super Micro 5018D-FN4T

        I am having (I believe) the same issue.  Not using xen, but proxmox (running pfsense with KVM.)  I do not have the 'disable acpi' box checked for the VM.  Any thoughts?

          Actually, I think I was having a different issue.  kvm shutdown command totally ignored.  This seems to be freebsd-related, not specifically pfsense.  More specifically, freebsd is the victim - the bug is in the seabios used by kvm.

          So, I guess I live with it until an update/fix.  Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
