[Users] VM Status "Unknown"

[Simon Barrett]

I tried that but it is the last node connected to the storage device and I get the following:

Manual fence did not revoke the selected SPM (ln2-lvb-002.mgt) since the master storage domain was not
active or could not use another host for the fence operation.

I just wondered if there was a way to force VM and/or Host removal?

Thanks,

Simon

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,


your host in non-responsive, means the engine cant verify its status and the vms status on it.
if you dont have power management (i guess you dont) and you absolutely sure the vms are really not running there anymore
you can mark the host as been rebooted, and clear the its state.
in the UI - right click the host and choose "confirm rebooted"
in rest i think its called manual fence

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.”
