This lists the VM. Also I'm able to access the console of the VM and work on it.

No migration, VM pinned to specific host itself.
Its a test setup so no worries on data corruption. However I agree its important
to find out the root cause.

Btw I should mention that I'm using ovirt-engine on x86_64 and vdsm on IBM Power
host. Not sure if its a host specific issue.
I'll see if I can recreate the issue.

vdsm.log file is around 11MB. Is there any place where I can upload it?
