[Users] VM Status "Unknown"

[Gadi Ickowicz]

If you are sure that the host (node) running the vm has reset, and the vm is no longer running on that host you can select the host and manually "Confirm host has been rebooted" (from the webadmin, not sure exactly how to do it from ovirt-shell).

Was this ever resolved? I have a similar situation where a node was reset while a VM was running on it. Now the VM is in an unknown state and I cannot stop/start etc. I also cannot put the node into maintenance mode as it thinks it still has running VM’s 





[oVirt shell (connected)]# list vms --query "id=807593a5-8667-4265-a0ab-b3e37feb1fc1" --show-all | grep status 

status-state : unknown 



[oVirt shell (connected)]# action vm 807593a5-8667-4265-a0ab-b3e37feb1fc1 stop 



============================ ERROR ==================================== 

status: 409 

reason: Conflict 

detail: Cannot stop VM. VM is not running. 

======================================================================= 





[oVirt shell (connected)]# action host d3a555b1-b5dd-48d1-802c-03096bdf8b00 deactivate 



============================ ERROR ==================================== 

status: 409 

reason: Conflict 

detail: Cannot switch Host to Maintenance mode. 

Host still has running VMs on it and is in Non Responsive state. 

======================================================================= 



Thanks,

Can you please provide vdsm.log (of both hosts) and engine.log? 


also, what version are you using? 


we had some bugs around this solved for 3.3

During a migration, the destination host lost connectivity to the san and crashed. 

Once the server came back up, 3 VMs that didn’t finish migrating have been stuck in status “Unknown.” Vdsclient doesn’t list any of the vms on either host. Qemu doesn’t have them listed as mounted on either host. Action vm start and stop result in “Status: 409”. 

The disks for all 3 VMs are listed as green in the WebAdmin. I’ve tried “action vm <name> start” “action vm <name> stop” “update vm <name> --status-state down” no joy. They remain in “unknown.”
