If oVirt cannot use the fencing device it has no way to know that the
host really went down and its safe to bring up the VMs that were
running on it.

You can resolve the issue manually by using the "confirm host had been
rebooted" option in the host's right-click menu.

[ovirt-users] migrating a vm from a down node

[Bill James]

I am doing some fault tolerance type testing with ovirt before we put it 
in production.
One thing I noticed is if I unplug the power from a hardware node, 
including iLo (fence),

that the VMs that were on that host go to unknown state.
I have found no way in the GUI to migrate the hosts, even they they are 
marked HA.

The only way I've found so far is to modify the database directly.
Is that the only recovery from a host failure of this type?



engine=> update vm_dynamic set status = 0 where vm_guid =(select
engine(> vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name = 'myvm');


ovirt-engine-3.6.4.1-1.el7.centos.noarch
centos 7.2


Also is 3.6.4 a OK version to use or should I upgrade first?
(looks like 3.6.6.2-1.el7.centos is current latest)
