Basically in cases where the SPM host is in problem there should be triggered an automatic flow which selects another one in the cluster, do you recall if the old SPM host had running tasks prior to failing? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kalil de A.

Hello everyone, I' new in oVirt and I tried to do some tests, and one is simulate the failed of one host. This host, which is go off, is the actual SPM and I want to change manually to a second host that is in the same cluster. When I tried change from web tool the server face me this pup up: Error while executing action ForceSelectSPM: Error connecting to the Storage Pool Manager service. Possible reasons: - Storage Pool Manager service is in non-active state. - No Active Host in the Data Center. And this message from engine.log: 2013-10-10 08:16:25,773 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.ForceSelectSPMCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-3) Command org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.ForceSelectSPMCommand throw Vdc Bll exception.

Are there any command our way that I can change manually, from CLI or similar think, which a can do that? Thanks a lot. -- Kalil de A.
