Hi, I have tested this multiple times with a multi-node kvm cluster. When you kill one hypervisor (and it will not come back) then HA kicks in as expected and VMs with HA but set are started again. Quite sure all versions since 4.6 work fine, most likely older versions as well.
Very simple to test, just give it a try. Maybe we should write a Marvin integration test to prove it works as people keep saying it doesn't for some reason.
