Konstantin, thank you very much for the explanation, it was very
enlightening.

I believe I left something open in the previous message.

I'm using Hosted Engine, all VMs have HA enabled and Power Management is
disabled on all hosts. No IPMI configured (at least I didn't configure
anything about iLO/IPMI in oVirt).

There was a loss of communication with the Storage for approximately 3
minutes and this caused all Hosts to reboot.
