I have a hardware node that has 26 VMs. 9 are listed as "running", 17 are listed as "paused". In truth all VMs are up and running fine. I tried telling the db they are up: engine=> update vm_dynamic set status = 1 where vm_guid =(select vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name = 'api1.test.j2noc.com'); GUI then shows it up for a short while, then puts it back in paused state. 2016-04-26 15:16:46,095 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.VmAnalyzer] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-16) [157cc21e] VM '242ca0af-4ab2-4dd6-b515-5 d435e6452c4'(api1.test.j2noc.com) moved from 'Up' --> 'Paused' 2016-04-26 15:16:46,221 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditlogh andling.AuditLogDirector] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-16) [157cc21e] Cor relation ID: null, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: VM api1. test.j2noc.com has been paused. Why does the engine think the VMs are paused? Attached engine.log. I can fix the problem by powering off the VM then starting it back up. But the VM is working fine! How do I get ovirt to realize that? ovirt-engine-3.6.4.1-1.el7.centos.noarch
