<p>Hi Michal,</p>
<p>(sorry for misspelling your name in my first mail).</p>
<p>The settings for the VMs are the following (oVirt 4.2):</p>
<ol>
<li>HA checkbox enabled of course</li>
<li>"Target Storage Domain for VM Lease" -> left empty</li>
<li>"Resume Behavior" -> AUTO_RESUME</li>
<li>Priority for Migration -> High<br>
</li>
<li>"Watchdog Model" -> No-Watchdog</li>
</ol>
<p>For testing we did not kill any VM but the host. So basically we
simulated an instantaneous crash by manually turning the machine
off via IPMI-Interface (not via operating system!) and ping the
guest(s). What happens then?</p>
<ol>
<li>2-3 seconds after the we press the host's shutdown button we
lose ping contact to the VM(s).</li>
<li>After another 20s oVirt changes the host's status to
"connecting", the VM's status is set to a question mark.</li>
<li>After ~1:30 the host is flagged to "non responsive"<br>
</li>
<li>After ~2:10 the host's reboot is initiated by oVirt, 5-10s
later the guest is back online.</li>
</ol>
<p>So, there seems to be one mistake I made in the first mail: The
downtime is "only" 2.5min. But still I think this time can be
decreased as for some services it is still quite a long time.</p>
<p>Best<br>
Daniel<br>

Hi Michael,
thanks for your mail. Sorry, I forgot to write that. Yes, we have power management and fencing enabled on all hosts. We also tested this and found out that it works perfectly. So this cannot be the reason I guess.

Hi Daniel,
ok, then it’s worth looking into details. Can you describe in more detail what happens? What exact settings you’re using for such VM? Are you killing the HE VM or other VMs or both? Would be good to narrow it down a bit and then review the exact flow
Thanks,
michal

Hello,
we're successfully using a setup with 4 Nodes and a replicated Gluster for storage. The engine is self hosted. What we're dealing with at the moment is the high availability: If a node fails (for example simulated by a forced power loss) the engine comes back up online withing ~2min. But guests (having the HA option enabled) come back online only after a very long grace time of ~5min. As we have a reliable network (40 GbE) and reliable servers I think that the default grace times are way too high for us - is there any possibility to change those values?

<pre wrap="">And do you have Power Management(iLO, iDRAC,etc) configured for your hosts? Otherwise we have to resort to relatively long timeouts to make sure the host is really dead
