Subject: [ovirt-users] Virtual Machines reporting as paused
A large number of my virtual machines are reporting in a paused state but
they are actually up and running. Unfortunately I don't look at this cluster
very often so I don't know exactly when it got into this state, I believe it
may have happened a couple months back when I deployed a change to
/etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf to throttle virtual machines migrations. I deployed this
change via puppet and had puppet cycle the vdsm daemon. All of the vdsm
daemons in the cluster were restarted in a short period of time. Since this
happened some time back all the logs have rotated off.
I have tried restarting vdsmd and libvirtd, but that doesn't appear to return
the virtual machines to an up state. The output of "vdsClient -s 0
getAllVmStats" reports them as paused, "virsh -r list --all" reports them
as
running. From the GUI I can click run and the VM will show “Up” in the GUI
and vdsClient. But if I restart vdsm, the VM's revert back to displaying a
paused state. I did find that the *.recovery files in /var/run/vdsm contain
a status of Paused even when the GUI and vdsClient are reporting it as up. I
did try and change the status in this file while vdsm was down and then
start vdsm, but it had no effect and the entry in the *.recovery file which
reverted to paused.
p335
sasS'status'
p336
S'Paused'
Any idea what might have caused the VM's to report as paused and how to
recover from it?
I am running
ovirt-3.3.4-1 and vdsm-4.13.3-4

what do you see in the 'events' subtab for the paused vms?
it should state the time and reason.
usually vms move to pause due to storage errors
if you have vm in up that moves to paused, you can attach the vdsm.log for the host that
runs the vm so we could have more info
