Description of problem:





Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
engine: 3.2.4 rpm: 3.2.4-0.44.el6ev.noarch


How reproducible:
 
the problem was seen as a host (rhevh) went into non-responding mode.
a vm that was running on it stopped responding and spice didn't work to access that VM's console.

while trying to stop / reboot the problematic host, the VM appeared on 2 different hosts (via UI and on virsh command line). 

Eventually ythis caused the FS on that VM to become corrupted, which resulted in reinstalling that VM.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
vm should only run on one host at a time.

Comment 1 Roy Golan 2013-11-06 13:44:10 UTC
the reason for this split brain is 2 Fence flows running in parallel - the 1st is Manual intervention and the 2nd is VdsNonRespondingTreatment 

manual intervention correlation id      : 3badd494 aka MANUAL
non-responding treatment correlation id : 6d6643f2 aka AUTO

MANUAL is able to see the host is OFF before AUTO so he puts all VM DOWN and restarts them

VMs go up...

AUTO 2nd attmpt to STOP the host after seeing it ON on 1st attmept put is setting the VM DOWN in db (not killing them because it assumes the host is down)

AUTO create the VMs - now we have 2 copies of them.

Comment 3 Pavel Novotny 2013-11-26 17:17:21 UTC
Verified in rhevm-3.3.0-0.35.beta1.el6ev.noarch (is24).

Verifications steps:
1. Have a VM and run it on a host with power management.
2. Simulate host problems by blocking the VDSM port 54321 from the host.
  - Now RHEVM tries to connect to the host and after a while it initiates reboot via PM.
3. As soon as the host reboot is initated by RHEVM, try to reboot the host also manually in Webadmin via Power Management -> Restart.

Results:
Error dialog: "Another power management action, restart, is already in progress."

Subsequent manual reboot attempts will then return error dialog:
"Another Power Management operation is still running, please retry in 128 Sec.
 Cannot restart Host. Fence operation failed."

No strange behavior on the affected VM has been seen. The VM can be ran again and is fully operational.
