[Users] ovirt shows vm status as down, but vm is actually up and running
Hi, I have a situation where VM is actually up and running (I can access its VNC console), however oVirt engine ui shows the status as down. I'm using ovirt engine v3.2 from stable repo on F18 Any suggestions to trouble shoot the issue ? -- Regards, Pradipta

That's like the worse thing that can happen - if you ever make decide to start another instance of that VM on another host - so please tread carefully. Does the host that run the VM shows as Up in Engine? What does vdsClient -s 0 list table shows there? and virsh -r list ? When is the last time that the VM was known to be up by Engine? Do you have vdsm.log from that time? It is very important to the project that you collect as much information about the lifecycle of this VM (i.e. was it migrated from somewhere, complete vdsm.log since creation). However, you may have a conflicting interest if you value that VM's data. You should probably shut it down cleanly from within the guest in that case. Dan.

Does the host that run the VM shows as Up in Engine? Yes the host is up What does vdsClient -s 0 list table shows there?
Empty output
and virsh -r list
This lists the VM. Also I'm able to access the console of the VM and work on it.

No migration, VM pinned to specific host itself. Its a test setup so no worries on data corruption. However I agree its important to find out the root cause. Btw I should mention that I'm using ovirt-engine on x86_64 and vdsm on IBM Power host. Not sure if its a host specific issue. I'll see if I can recreate the issue. vdsm.log file is around 11MB. Is there any place where I can upload it?

You can try to compress the file: sudo yum install bzip2 bzip2 vdsm.log On Fri, May 3, 2013 at 10:08 AM, Pradipta Kumar Banerjee <bpradip@in.ibm.com

I do not want to advertise any proprietary solution, but dropbox comes to mind. It's pretty easy to open up a shell accound in Fedora such as my http://danken.fedorapeople.org/ . Dan.
