would that stop any of the running VMs ?
it shouldn't, but if you have ovirt engine running, make sure that power management
not active for this host,
since after timeout (usually 1 minute) when vdsm is down, the host will be fenced
(restarted) - then the vms will surely stop..
look at http://www.ovirt.org/Automatic_Fencing for more info about automatic fencing in
engine.

Of course I can't say "nothing will happen" due to the fact that every

your machines.

However, it would be safer to stop Vdsm explicitly before you do that
