Dear Milan,
Today, i just found that oVirt 4.2 support iLO5 and power management was set on all hosts (hypervisor).
I found that if i choose VM lease and shutdown iSCSI network, the VM was shutdown.
Then the VM will migrate to another host if the iSCSI network was resumed.

If i just choose enable HA on VM setting, the VM was successfully migrate to another hosts.

But i want to ask another question, what if the management network is down?
What VM and hosts behavior would you expect?

Regards
Terry Hung

A paused VM can't be migrated, since there are no guarantees about the
storage state.  As the VMs were paused under erroneous (rather than
controlled such as putting the host into maintenance) situation,
migration policy can't help here.

But highly available VMs can be restarted on another host automatically.
Do you have VM lease enabled for the highly available VM in High
Availability settings?  With a lease, Engine should be able to restart
the VM elsewhere after a while, without it Engine can't do that since
there is danger of resuming the VM on the original host, resulting in
multiple instances of the same VM running at the same time.

VMs without high availability must be restarted manually (unless storage
domain becomes available again).

HTH,
Milan
