[ovirt-users] VMs stuck in migrating state

[nicolas at devels.es]

Hi,

We're running 4.1.9 and during the weekend we had a storage issue that 
seemed to leave some hosts in an strange state. One of the hosts has 
almost all VMs migrating (although it seems to not actually being 
migrating them) and the migration state cannot be cancelled.

When clicking on one of those machines and selecting 'Cancel migration', 
in the ovirt-engine log I see:

2018-02-26 08:52:07,588Z INFO  
[org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.CancelMigrateVDSCommand]

VDSGenericException: VDSErrorException: Failed to CancelMigrateVDS, 
error = Migration process cancelled, code = 82

On the vdsm side I see:

2018-02-26 08:56:19,396+0000 INFO  (jsonrpc/0) [vdsm.api] START 
migrateCancel() from=::ffff:10.X.X.X,54654,

flow_id=874d36d7-63f5-4b71-8a4d-6d9f3ec65858 (api:52)

So no error on the vdsm side log.

I already tried restarting ovirt-engine but it didn't work.

Could someone shed some light on how to cancel the migration status for 
these machines? All of them seem to be running on the same host.

Thanks.
