If this is an issue in engine, restarting engine may fix this.
but having this problem only with one node, I don't think this is the issue.

If this is an issue in vdsm, restarting vdsm may fix this.

If this does not help, maybe this is libvirt issue? did you try to check vm
status using virsh?

If virsh thinks that the vms are paused, you can try to restart libvirtd.

Please file a bug about this in any case with engine and vdsm logs.

Adding Michal in case he has better idea how to proceed.
