Hi plysan,
which version of oVirt are you using?

I'm using the latest build with developer mod

I'll try to answer to each issue separatly:
1. Host doesn't move to "UP" after the following - Some fixes were done to avoid such situation from happening - so if you would update that should happend.

Do you mean there is already some fix available?

2. There's no check for any host being up - if that's missing on the flow, it might be added as an improvement, but [1] should get you good to go :)

I think engine should not try to connect to SD knowing that there is no active host, otherwise the action would fail. So the check should be added.

Question is whether there be any situation that SD can be activated successfully even if there is no 'up' host in storage pool?

Let me know if i could help somehow more
thanks,
Liron
