Comment 2 sefi litmanovich 2016-08-28 11:35:18 UTC

Verified with rhevm-3.6.8.1-0.1.el6.noarch, host with vdsm-4.17.34-1.el7ev.noarch.

Verified according to steps in description.
Result after kill -19 <qemu-pid> :
vdsClient is reporting the vm in state 'UP' but in engine the vm is reported as not responding which is the expected result.
Not sure I got the implementation of this fix, let me know if I missed something that should be checked as well.

In vdsClient:
1. if you "list" VMs, you should see them marked as 'UP*' <- please note the asterisk

2. if you use 'getAllVmStats', you should see 'monitorResponse' = -1

This is how Vdsm reports unresponsive VMs.
