Marcus Sorensen commented on CLOUDSTACK-600:
--------------------------------------------
The fact that there is no definition for the VMs in libvirt is by design, it
won't survive a reboot as they're not persistent. When a rebooted host comes
back online, it will attempt to stop any VMs that were previously running on
that host, in case they were migrated away. This often fails and results in the
'Domain not found' errors you mention, but it's just a failsafe.
So the issue you're having, based on the symptoms you mention, is that:
1) KVM Host is rebooted
2) VMs on that host show up as 'stopped' in the management UI
3) when KVM Host comes back and shows 'connected' in the management UI, you are
unable to start the stopped VMs
You are using local storage, is there anything else that you can tell us about
the environment? Can you put the agent into debug mode (edit
/etc/cloud/agent/log4j.xml and replace INFO with DEBUG everywhere, then restart
agent), then capture just the section out of /var/log/cloud/agent/agent.log
where attempting to start a VM fails?
