Dear Doron,
I haven't collected the logs from the tests, but I would gladly
re-do
the case and get back to you asap.
This feature is the main reason of which I have chosen to go with
Ovirt in the first place, besides other virt environments.
Could you please inform me what logs should I be focusing on,
besides
the engine log; vdsm maybe or other relevant logs?
Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
engine log is the important one, as it will indicate on the decision making process.
VDSM logs should be kept in case something is unclear, but I suggest we begin with
engine.log.

<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
Today, I started testing on my Ovirt 3.1 installation (from dreyou
repos) running on 3 x Centos 6.3 hypervisors the High Availability
features and the fence mechanism.<br>
<br>
As yesterday, I have reported in a previous email thread, that the
migration priority queue cannot be increased (bug) in this current
version, I decided to test what the official documentation says
about the High Availability cases. <br>
<br>
This will be a disaster case scenarios to suffer from if one
hypervisor has a power outage/hardware problem and the VMs running
on it are not migrating on other spare resources.<br>
<br>
<br>
In the official documenation from <a href=3D"http://ovirt.org" target=
=3D"_blank">ovirt.org</a> it is quoted the
following:<br>
<h3> <span class=3D"mw-headline"
id=3D"High_availability"> <font color=
=3D"#333399"><i><small>High availability
</small></i></font></span></h3>
<font color=3D"#333399"><i><small>
</small></i></font>
<p><font color=3D"#333399"><i><small>Allows critical
VMs to be
restarted on another host in the event of hardware failure
with three levels of priority, taking into account
resiliency policy.
</small></i></font></p>
<font color=3D"#333399"><i><small>
</small></i></font>
<ul>
<li><font color=3D"#333399"><i><small> Resiliency
policy to control
high availability VMs at the cluster level.
</small></i></font></li>
<li><font color=3D"#333399"><i><small> Supports
application-level
high availability with supported fencing agents.
</small></i></font></li>
</ul>
<br>
As well as in the Architecture description:<br>
<font color=3D"#333399"><br>
<small><i>High Availability - restart guest VMs from failed hosts
automatically on other hosts</i></small></font><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So the testing went like this -- One VM running a linux box, having
the check box "High Available" and "Priority for Run/Migration
queue:" set to Low. On Host we have the check box to "Any Host in
Cluster", without "Allow VM migration only upon Admin specific
request" checked.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My environment:<br>
<br>
<br>
Configuration : 2 x Hypervisors (same cluster/hardware
configuration) ; 1 x Hypervisor + acting as a NAS (NFS) server
(different cluster/hardware configuration)<br>
<br>
Actions: Went and cut-off the power from one of the hypervisors from
the 2 node clusters, while the VM was running on. This would
translate to a power outage.<br>
<br>
Results: The hypervisor node that suffered from the outage is
showing in Hosts tab as Non Responsive on Status, and the VM has a
question mark and cannot be powered off or nothing (therefore it's
stuck).<br>
<br>
In the Log console in GUI, I get: <br>
<br>

<br>
There is nothing I could I could do besides clicking on the Hyper01
"Confirm Host as been rebooted", afterwards the VM starts on the
Hyper02 with a cold reboot of the VM.<br>

I would like you approach on this problem, reading the documentation
& features pages on the official website, I suppose that this
would have been an automatically mechanism working on some sort of a
vdsm & engine fencing action. Am I missing something regarding
it ?<br>

Thank you for your patience reading this.<br>
