thank you for response. I bold-ed the ones that are listed as "paused".

Looks like problem started around 2016-04-17 20:19:34,822, based on engine.log attached. There's a lot of vdsm logs! fyi, the storage domain for these Vms is a "local" nfs share, 7e566f55-e060-47b7-bfa4-ac3c48d70dda. attached more logs.
