"Failed to verify Host xxxxx Restart status, Please Restart Host xxxxx 
manually."

The tests I did on power management, either via the test button, or via 
some actions, including power up, reboot, are all reacting well.

I'm close to think there is actually NO problem, except this old log msg.

Ok, so either I wait 15 more days for this msg to disapear, either I 
find the adequate config command line to shorten it, and restart.

Ok, this is enough for me. Thank you for your explanation.
