The email alerts from CS show that it did try HA Unable to restart csgtest which was running on host name: CSG-XS-H2(id:6), availability zone: 1, pod: Pod1
What would be the effect on the running VM's for the following : toolstack restart first (might want to kill hung processes like xapi). if that doesnt get you far emergency reset pool master to host 2 -----Original Message----- From: Ahmad Emneina [mailto:aemne...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, 20 October 2013 7:32 AM To: Cloudstack users mailing list Subject: Re: Host Down - CS Reports VMs Running on failed host CloudStack initially queries the host (host1 in this case), but if it fails to connect to that host.. it will do further investigation by querying the vm from another host in the cluster. Thats probably why it hasnt tried to HA your vm's, it can see they're alive from host2.
