Our environment is on KVM hosts. > CloudStack does not know the difference between a VM failing or being > shutdown from within the guest OS. > This is a major pain point for all our users - especially since they don't > pay for VMs when they are shutoff. It is not intuitive for end-users to > understand why they can't shutdown VMs from within the guest OS. Especially > when they all come from (non-cloudstack) VMware and Hyper-V environments > where this is not an issue. > However, if a host fails, we need VM HA to still work. > This Issue is being tied to a new PR that creates a configuration option > "ha.vm.restart.hostup". With this option set to false, if CloudStack sees a > VM shutdown out-of-band, +*but the host it was on is still* *onlin*e+, then > it won't power it back on. The logic is that since the host is online, it > was most likely shutdown from the guest OS. > For when a host actually fails, standard VM HA logic takes over and powers on > VMs (with VM HA enabled) if the host they were on fails. > If that "ha.vm.restart.hostup" option is true (the default to match current > functionality), it works like always, and even in-guest shutdowns of VMs > causes CloudStack to power back on the VM. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
