Shutting be down kvm host does what to VMs
I have a single ovirt host running 2 VMs. If I do a shutdown -h now on the kvm host will ovirt do a similar shutdown command on the VMs? And wait for them to shutdown before finishing it's shutdown? Please do not tell me I should have 2 physical hosts. I know but it's not in the clients budget. Thanks, Louis

No. To shut down a host you should do: In oVirt UI (or via the API): 1. Shut down vms running on host 2. Put host to maintenance 3. Shut down the host If you have more than one host, you can simply do: 1. Put host to maintenance 2. Shut down the host oVirt will migrate the VMs to other hosts.

More hosts are useful but not required. You can automate this using the oVirt API, SDK, or ansible, and add a service that runs at shutdown and does what you want. Nir
