With later releases of Xen it is possible to shutdown those only the VMs that have disk on bad PS. It makes sense to just implement this feature now.

[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-3367) When one primary storage fails, all XenServer hosts get rebooted, killing all VMs, even those not on this primary storage.

Disabling the reboot might cause problems on the XenServer, because any failure of storage will leave staled mounts on the host.

Because i have many primary storages, which are/were running fine with other VMs, rebooting XenServer Hipervisor is an overkill. Please disable this or implement just stopping/killing the VMs running on that storage and try to re-attach that storage only. Problem was reported on the mailing list, as well as a workaround for XenServer. So i'm not the only one hit by this bug/feature. Workaround for now is as follows: 1.

Without a reboot these VMs will become inconsistent. I think it should be classified as an improvement.

If you kill/destroy/stop something that's working normally and you should not have, it's definitely a bug. A mayor bug. :-) When one primary storage fails, all XenServer hosts get rebooted, killing all VMs, even those not on this primary storage. -- Key: CLOUDSTACK-3367 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3367 Project: CloudStack Issue Type: Improvement Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)

It's the reason why we chose to reboot instead of stop VMs. You also have to consider how often this happens. If a storage server needs to be taken out, the storage server should be put in maintenance mode which shutdown the vms. In that case, then it won't cause host to reboot. Therefore, this can only happen with an unscheduled outage of the storage server. We can add a few things to make this happen less often. - Don't put a heartbeat on the storage until a VM using that storage is on a host. - Remove the heartbeat on the storage when all VMs using that storage is done. - Try to stop the VMs within a short interval and if by that interval we can't stop the VMs, then reboot.
