Shutting down a QNX hypervisor

The following methods can be used to shut down a QNX hypervisor:

• If the QHS or other QNX hypervisor encounters an undefined state, it will move to its Design Safe State (see “Design Safe States” in the “QHX Hypervisor for Safety” chapter).
• The QHS is a QOS with virtualization extensions; other QNX hypervisors are QNX Neutrino OSs with virtualization extensions. Thus, all the mechanisms available for shutting down or rebooting a QOS or a QNX Neutrino OS (e.g., slay -s SIGTERM qvm) are available to the QHS and other QNX hypervisors. These mechanisms are available to applications running in the hypervisor host domain, but not to guests or their applications.
