Expected results:
virt-who should report host/guest to server side immediate after reboot vcenter

Comment 3 Radek Novacek 2015-12-15 09:55:48 UTC
The fix for this issue has been applied upstream: 

https://github.com/virt-who/virt-who/commit/69bfd3aa5c0384ba7da3cc3f8f03a92cbaa2588a

Now virt-who should notice that ESX server is not functional and recover in about one minute.

Comment 4 Radek Novacek 2015-12-17 12:29:44 UTC
Fixed by rebase to virt-who-0.16-1.el6.

Comment 6 Liushihui 2016-02-23 08:55:09 UTC
Verified it on virt-who-0.16-4.el6.noarch since virt-who can re-monitor h/g mapping info after reboot vcenter.Therefore, verified it.
