How to fix VirtualBox's poweroff when Windows Server 2016 guest ist restarting?












0















I am using VirtualBox v6.0.2 (Oracle package) with the extension pack 6.0.2.128162 on a Debian 9 machine with Intel VT-x enabled, and running qemu-kvm (VirtualBox's paravirtualization is also set to KVM).



Inside VirtualBox, I have a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter (64 bit) installation running.



The issue is that everytime Windows Server wants to restart, the virtual machine ends up in a poweroff, once the "virtual power cycle" is initiated by the guest OS. I have to connect via SSH and start the VM manually in order to "complete" the guest restart.



Here is some VBoxManage showvminfo, which might be related:



Memory size                  6144MB
Page Fusion: disabled
VRAM size: 8MB
CPU exec cap: 100%
HPET: disabled
CPUProfile: host
Chipset: piix3
Firmware: BIOS
Number of CPUs: 2
PAE: enabled
Long Mode: enabled
Triple Fault Reset: disabled
APIC: enabled
X2APIC: disabled
Nested VT-x/AMD-V: disabled
CPUID Portability Level: 0
CPUID overrides: None
ACPI: enabled
IOAPIC: enabled
BIOS APIC mode: APIC
Hardw. virt.ext: enabled
Nested Paging: enabled
Large Pages: disabled
VT-x VPID: enabled
VT-x unr. exec.: enabled
Paravirt. Provider: KVM
Effective Paravirt. Prov.: KVM
3D Acceleration: enabled
2D Video Acceleration: enabled
Teleporter Enabled: disabled
Tracing Enabled: disabled
Allow Tracing to Access VM: disabled
VRDE: enabled
OHCI USB: enabled
EHCI USB: enabled
xHCI USB: enabled


How to to fix the behavior, so when the gust OS is performing a restart, the virtual machine is not powered-off after graceful "shutdown" so it can restart again.
