good morning guys
i have an issue with my 2008 vm going to pause within 5 secs of starting
it up. new install of ovirt 3.4.4 on hp dl160, installed the windows vm and
windows drivers etc and it was running fine. did a reboot last night and
went to bed, i see this morning the server is not accessible and when i
login to the web gui it is paused. stop vm and restart the server starts
firing up and then goes to pause mode with the following message from the
ovirt-engine log. i dont think it is a windows problem as the vm pauses
before it even starts trying to load windows server:
I remember to have seen something similar in the past with a Windows 7 VM
that every time after about 50 minutes went in this state.
At that time it depended on power saving settings in Windows OS that put
hard disk and/or network adapter in that state causing the VM to go in
suspend mode.
I don't know if recent version of hypervisor settings should manage better
this kind of things.
But you can try disabling them
see here for win 7 should be similar for 2008
