What do you mean? Could you please explain, maybe with an example?

Well, the problem is, that the host MUST be able to shutdown and migrate the 
VMs if for example we have a black-out...
The UPS send a signal and NUT start the shutdown.
In this case, the VMs have to migrate.

Well, the problem is just one: if someone other Admin has to perform some works 
on the host that require a reboot, and he MUST log into a GUI to put the host 
in maintenance before the shutdown, we have a higher fail-possibility, if he 
forgot that.
And, of course, automatically shutdown cannot log into the GUI...

So, the best solution is, that the host itself, BEFORE the shutdown begins, 
send oVirt a signal and let oVirt put the host in Maintenance, migrating all 
VMs, and THEN, proceed with the shutdown...

I think, it MUST be possible, but I can't find how...

Thanks
