Have you marked the Virtual Machine as “highly available?” Under the “highly availability tab” under Advanced Options while editing the VM? Devin On Mar 26, 2017, 9:34 AM -0700, Anantha Raghava <raghav@exzatechconsulting.com>, wrote:

In order for oVirt to migrate VM's it needs to ensure that the VMs are no longer running on the failed host. Essentially it need to ensure that host is no longer running (As opposed to not accessible over the network). You need to configure power management for it to be able to do that. (There is a new feature in 4.x to enable storage-based fencing, can't find a reference for it just now). -- Barak Korren bkorren@redhat.com RHCE, RHCi, RHV-DevOps Team https://ifireball.wordpress.com/
