[Users] Change SPM manually, forcing the operation.

[Dafna Ron]

automatic spm re-election should happen when the host is in a 
non-operational state which means the storage is inaccessible from the 
spm but engine can still reach the vdsm.
In your case, from what you put in this mail, I can see that the host is 
non-responsive which means that engine cannot reach the host at all and 
so a new spm will not be re-elected and this is to avoid possible data 
corruption.

2013-10-10 08:16:34,385 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.IrsBrokerCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-11) spm vds is non responsive, stopping spm selection.

If you have power management configured the system will automatically 
try to reboot the spm and a new one will be elected. if you do not have 
power management configured but you are sure that the host has been 
rebooted and there are not running vms on it you can use the "confirm 
host has been rebooted" button and release the spm.

Please note that if the host has not been rebooted this can cause data 
corruption so do reboot the host...
