Hi Doron,
If the watchdog is set to action="reset" and you break the kernel, the VM will
stay in UP state while waiting for the watchdog to reset the VM, and will still be in UP
state while rebooting. So in theory engine will not be notified about a crash.
This behavior is different when the action="poweroff" because the watchdog will
really put the VM in a Down state and it is engine's job to restart it if HA as soon
as it receives the notification from VDSM.

Hi Laszlo,
Looks very useful. Any thoughts on what engine will do while
if the VM is defined as HA while the watchdog is resetting it?
