there are 2 types of host failure: 1 - power/network/vdsm service.. - these leads to a state where engine and host cannot communicate, host will move to 'non-responsive' and will be fenced (power mgmt action) in this case, only HA vms will be restarted, once the engine is sure it is safe. 2 - software issues like storage connectivity - in this case, engine can communicate with the host, and decide it is not fulfilling the cluster/dc requirements the host will move to 'not operational' then the engine will live-migrate (not restart) vms according to your choice of resilience policy so what did you do when you tested 'host failure'? according to your question i assume number 1, and this is what you got let me know if it helps Omer. > Kind regards, > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
