Exactly that's the place to fence the misbehaving host and the recommended
procedure.

Right, we relay in a separated fencing mechanism as a proper HA requires.


As a side note, we are now working (it maybe incorporated in 4.8.1) in a
"off-line" migration capability. This is, once the host is fence (the VM
will be in UNKNOWN), the error hook will be able to set the reschedule flag
and the scheduler will look for a new host. The VM will move from UNKNOWN
to BOOT and then RUNNING in a different host. Provided you have a shared
storage NFS or Ceph like across cluster hosts that will preserve volatile
disk changes and speed up the restart process.
