If all else fails, change its state to the correct state in the MySQL database and restart the management service. Sadly that is the only way I could do it when my Cloudstack got confused and stuck an instance in an intermediate state where I couldn't do anything with it.

Im trying to recover VMs after an host failure (powered off from OOB). Primary storage is NFS and IPMI is configured for the KVM hosts. Zone is advanced mode with vlan separation and created a shared network with no services since I wish to use an external DHCP. First, say I don't have a compute offering with HA enabled and a KVM host goes down... I can't put it in maintenance mode while down and disabling it have no effect on the state of the lost VMs. VM stays in running state according to manager. What should I do to force restart on remaining healthy hosts ? Then I enabled IPMI on all KVM hosts and attempted the same experience with a compute offering with HA enabled. Same result. Manager do see the host as disconnected and powered off but take no action. I certainly miss something here. Please help ! Regards, Jean-Francois
