2.hosted-engine --vm-start-paused was added for the case when something is 
wrong with engine vm and it can't start and requires user intervention. For 
example in case of kernel panic.
User can start engine vm in paused mode ,connect to it and try to fix the 
problem by booting in single user mode ,etc.
3.When the connectivity to shared storage is lost engine vm becomes paused. VM 
should be automatically unpaused after connectivity resumes (we introduced this 
feature in 3.3) but in case of NFS it could take quite time.so may be we should 
add something like --vm-resume in order to resume

Are we talking only on the hosted engine vm or all other vm's? if I have other vm's they will also stop, will they be auto started as well?
the engine vm manually.

Thanks,
Leonid.

It was paused due to the connection loss to the NFS server, I would assume
once the connection is restored it could attempt to restore it? But I can
try dig up the vdsm logs if you want, they would only be a few hours old

I think having an option like --vm-resume would at least hide the reason of
having to dig into virsh and messing with authentication at the very least.

the question is what was the vm paused on... this can be found in the qemu
vm log.
if the vm is paused it will not be auto started - so I am not sure what
you expect to change? virsh requires authentication regardless to hosted
engine :)
Leonid, did you do any testing there?

     I was more interested in how the score process would be
     calculated, the vm-status option considered the VM in a bad state.

     I left it for a few minutes and nothing seemed to have changed, I
     think it relates to hosted engine as virsh requires
     authentication. Should I still open a bz?

     Cheers,

         I am not sure this is a hosted engine question as much as a
         qemu question.
         qemu-kvm will not support auto start of vm's after EIO because
         of remote possibility of corruption.

             Hi,

             Quick question, in the scenario eg. the NFS server becomes
             unreachable and the hosted-engine goes into a paused
             state. Will other hosts attempt to bring it back up?
             Should there be a command eg.  hosted-engine --vm-resume ?

             When this happened, I manually forced it to resume using virsh

                             Hi,

                             With the great help from sbonazzo, I
             managed to step
                             past the initial bug with the
             hosted-engine-setup but
                             appear to have run into another show stopper.

                             I ran through the install process
             successfully up to
                             the stage where it completed and the
             engine VM was to
                             be shutdown. (The engine has already been
             installed on
                             the VM and the host has been connected to
             the engine).

                             The issue starts here that the host finds
             itself not
                             able to start the VM up again.

                             VDSM Logs:
             http://www.fpaste.org/69592/00427141/
                             ovirt-hosted-engine-ha agent.log
             http://www.fpaste.org/69595/43609139/

                             It seems to keep failing to start the VM..
             when I
                             restart the agent I can see the score drop
             to 0 after
                             3 boot attempts.  The interesting thing
             seems to be in
                             the VDSM Logs "'Virtual machine does not
             exist',
                             'code': 1}}"

                             I'm not sure where else to look. Suggestions?

                             Cheers,

                             Andrew
