Comment 1 Vinzenz Feenstra [evilissimo] 2016-11-19 13:53:01 UTC

The problem itself is only due to the fact that Windows 8+ started suspending the system and the shutdowns are fast. 

Windows 7 and earlier used to normally shutdown which can take quite some time, that can lead to the moment that the communication in VDSM times out and the guest agent data gets reset to empty data which the engine polls and changes the received info.

The referenced patch solves this by only warning when the VM state is in UP state.

Comment 2 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-12-12 14:01:29 UTC

The fix for this issue should be included in oVirt 4.1.0 beta 1 released on December 1st. If not included please move back to modified.

ok, ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-4.1.0.2-0.2.el7.noarch

it's displayed only when a VM is UP
