I've been trying to figure out an issue where some of my VMs will go offline if I restart cloudstack management service.
After digging for a bit, I found a culprit. If you don't have vmware tools installed, ACS checks the state of vm (I.e. running or stopped, as well as agentState) If VM state is running and agentState - is not (I'm under assumption vmware tools is agentState) then ACS powers off the guest - when ACS management server is restarted. So I'm trying to figure out if this is by design or a bug? In my case, fedora 17 does not have official vmware tools and neither do some other Ubuntu distros. I can try to get openvmtools to work, but I'm thinking - why would ACS care?
