I recall in the 4.3 release that HA on KVM did not function for loss of a host. The management log would report that it was 'investigating' for days without taking action. The UI would report the host as up at this time as well.

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.
