Description Martin Perina 2014-03-24 05:11:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

With power management configured, host will be fenced during kdump, making the crash dump useless.  Crash dumps are essential for diagnosing kernel issues.

oVirt 3.5 behavior to prevent host in kdump flow to get fenced is described at http://www.ovirt.org/Fence_kdump
