VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE on acpipowerbutton (#18884)

ModEdit; related ticket: #18884: Failed to get a console object

---

I develop HA cluster and use VirtualBox to test the system in loop. When I test in loop boot/shutdown and have opened GUI, sometimes I see next error window:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine witness.

Failed to get a console object from the direct session (VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE).

Result Code: VBOX_E_VM_ERROR (0x80BB0003)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976

But this does not stop the running test script or virtualbox itself. As far as I see the error is risen on massive (I use 9 VM) simultaneous shutdown by command

Code: Select all

VBoxManage controlvm "$h" acpipowerbutton

I attached the screenshot and logs to the ticked #18884.

use VirtualBox to test the system in loop

Can you post the script that runs the loop? I suspect that you might be doing things too fast in there, and the VMs/VirtualBox are not in the proper state to respond to the specific command.

Also, please don't use the .xz compression, it's rather non-standard. Try something like .gz or .zip.
