For some of them I registered the related qemu-kvm process going to fixed 100% cpu usage and unable to open spice console (black screen). But in my case also the VM itself was stuck: unable to connect to it via network or ping. I had to force power off the VM and power on it again. Some other VMs resumed from pause state without any apparent problem (apart from clock unsync). Both the good and bad VMs had ovirt guest agent running: they were CentOS 6.5 VMs Perhaps your situation is something in the middle.... verify you didn't had any problem with your storage and that your problematic VM had not been paused/resumed due to that Gianluca
