Hi,
just a minor problem I guess: I have a small test environment with 2 hosts and a hosted engine on a separate NFS3 share, all running CentOS7. The VMs are running from an iSCSI storage.
When I want to shutdown the environment I:
- shutdown VMs - enable global maintenance mode - "shutdown -h now" on the hosted engine vm - "shutdown -h now" on the hosts
The problem: instead of shutting down, the hosts perform a reboot after a short while.
The hosts? Did you look at their console and see that they actually "reboot after a short while"? Or perhaps they do not shutdown at all and reboot instead?
Is this the expected behaviour or a known bug? How can I cleanly shutdown my OVirt-environment?
I think that before shutting down a host you should move it to local maintenance. Not sure, however, how it was started back. Please try and report back. Thanks! Also: Do you have fencing enabled? You wrote '"shutdown -h now" on the hosts'. What happens if you shutdown just one of them and then wait a bit? Does it get started too? Are you certain that 'shutdown -h now' worked on these hosts before the setup - that it's not some kernel/bios/etc issue? Best, -- Didi
