Re: [Users] Vm's being paused

Hi guys, Sorry for the very late reply, I've been out of the office doing installations. Unfortunately due to the time delay, my oldest logs are only as far back as the attached. I've only grep'd for Thread-286029 in the vdsm log. The engine.log I'm not sure what info is required, so the full log is attached. Please shout if you need any info or further details. Thank you very much. Regards. Neil Wilson.
