imagine host sending an init signal through a virtual serial port to
the VMs. Do you think it is possible in that or an other way?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I'd like to be sure about the behaviour of vms when hist host goes
down for any reason. I suppose high availibility is for migrating
vms to another host, but how to do if I prefer them to shut down at
the same time of the host?

For a planned shutdown of a host, you should move it to "maintenance"
mode (which migrates all VMs from it) or shut down the VMs individually.
If the host unexpectedly dies, it would be fenced by Engine.
Highly-available VMs that were running on it, would be re-started on
another host. You can mimic such a condition with logging into the host
as root and doing
service vdsmd stop
pkill qemu-kvm
(and may the force be with your guest's data)
