I don't think the status is reported via the agent but vdsm on the host. Try restarting the engine service. use vdsm-client on the host to see if the VM running and shut it down if needed. https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/vdsm-client.html on the host restart vdsmd ( you may want to migrate other VMs first) systemctl restart vdsmd If this doesn't work alter the database Regards, Paul S. ------------------------------ *From:* Jayme <jaymef(a)gmail.com&gt; *Sent:* 16 April 2020 19:07 *To:* eevans(a)digitaldatatechs.com <eevans(a)digitaldatatechs.com&gt; *Cc:* kim.kargaard(a)noroff.no <kim.kargaard(a)noroff.no>; users < users(a)ovirt.org&gt; *Subject:* [ovirt-users] Re: VM's in status unknown *Caution External Mail:* Do not click any links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know that the content is safe.

I have Windows 10 and haven't experienced that. You can't shut it down in the UI? Even after you try to shut it down inside Windows? I will assume you have the latest guest tools installed.

This seems to specfically be related to that Windows 10 template that we have created. Any ideas? Also, any ideas on how one can shut these machines down?
