[ovirt-users] Engine Hardware Crash

[Maurice James]

I am running 3.4.2 in that environment. I was wondering if there is a way to start, stop, reboot the VMs that are present on the hosts that are still running? I did not see any emails from Maor. Thanks

Hi Maurice,

What's the oVirt environment that you were running? 3.3, 3.4, 3.5?
When you say interact, is it about to start the VM that are you asking?
Could you please clarify? Have you tried the Maor's suggestion?

For now, I would say to start with:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/VdsClient

Thanks
Douglas
