[ovirt-users] Vm suddenly paused with error "vm has paused due to unknown storage error"

[Jasper Siero]

Hi all,

Since we upgraded our Ovirt nodes to CentOS 7 a vm (not a specific one but never more then one) will sometimes pause suddenly with the error "VM ... has paused due to unknown storage error". It happens now two times in a month.
The Ovirt node uses san storage for the vm's running on it. When a specific vm is pausing with an error the other vm's keeps running without problems.
The vm runs without problems after unpausing it.

Versions:
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503
vdsm-4.14.17-0
libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-16

Has anyone experienced the same problem or knows a way to solve this?

Kind regards,
