[ovirt-users] VM stuck in "reboot in progress" ("virtual machine XXX should be running in a host but it isn't.").
Hello all (and happy new year),
(Note: Also reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1880251)
Self hosted engine, single node, NFS.
Attempted to install CentOS over an existing Fedora VM with one host
device (USB printer).
Reboot failed, trying to boot from a non-existent CDROM.
Tried shutting the VM down, failed.
Tried powering off the VM, failed.
Dropped cluster to global maintenance, reboot host + engine (was
planning to upgrade it anyhow...), VM still stuck.
When trying to power off the VM, the following message can be found
the in engine.log:

USER_FAILED_STOP_VM(56), Failed to power off VM kids-home-srv (Host:
<UNKNOWN>, User: gilboa@internal-authz).
My question is simple: Pending a solution to the bug, can I somehow
drop the state of the VM? It's currently holding a sizable disk image
and a USB device I need (printer).
As it's my private VM cluster, I have no problem dropping the site
completely for maintenance.
Thanks,
Gilboa
