This is a pretty vague and difficult question to answer. But what happens if the shared storage holding the VMs is down or unavailable for a period of time?

I’m aware that a longer timeout may put the VMs on pause state, but how this is handled? Is it a time limit? Requests limit? Who manages this?

In an event of self recovery of the storage backend what happens next? Manual intervention is required? The VMs may be down or they just continue to run? It depends on the guest OS running like in XenServer where different scenarios may happen?

I’ve looked here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage.html but there’s nothing that goes about this question.

Thanks,
