Re: [Users] Issues starting hosted engine VM

Hi, That bug seems to be private :( I'm interested also to hear about this feature, as with 3.3.2 I had my gluster vms go into paused state quite a few times and they actually couldn't be resumed at all, they needed to be forced off and back on.

There was no problem with it when I tested it. 2.hosted-engine --vm-start-paused was added for the case when something is wrong with engine vm and it can't start and requires user intervention. For example in case of kernel panic. User can start engine vm in paused mode ,connect to it and try to fix the problem by booting in single user mode ,etc. 3.When the connectivity to shared storage is lost engine vm becomes paused. VM should be automatically unpaused after connectivity resumes (we introduced this feature in 3.3) but in case of NFS it could take quite time.so may be we should add something like --vm-resume in order to resume Are we talking only on the hosted engine vm or all other vm's? if I have other vm's they will also stop, will they be auto started as well? the engine vm manually.

But I can try dig up the vdsm logs if you want, they would only be a few hours old I think having an option like --vm-resume would at least hide the reason of having to dig into virsh and messing with authentication at the very least.
