somejfn commented on issue #2984: kvm: reset KVM host on heartbeat failure
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2984#issuecomment-434654783
 
 
   I guess VM-HA is handled differently on managed storage right ?   I mean
   Ceph has image locking builtin and I hope Solidfire can do the same to
   guarantee exclusive access.
   
   On NFS the risk to keep HA is greater than its benefits so sadly I'll have
   to disable it and humans handle host failures
