So you are saying it's a bug?

Anyway, what had happened was this: Someone changed the VM configuration of 
another VM to get more memory. Then the cluster tried to start all VMs on a 
single node, but that node (Domain-0) did not have enough memory... Thus the 
VMs were staying in that "p-state".

What I guess is this: Such a domain is not actually running (and needs to be 
destroyed (stopped) before any attempt to start the VM elsewhere is done)

Can you confirm?

Another question is why Xen doesn't fail the start of such a VM more or less 
immediately; it seems Xen is waiting for more memory to arrive indefinitely.

Regards,
Ulrich
