Fixed In Version: 5.5.0.1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, virtual machines on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager started slowly, and as a result the virtual machines could not run because they were in Powering Up status during the autostart_destination phase. This has been fixed by adding a loop in the code for the host to requeue a virtual machine's boot request. The virtual machine will automatically raise an error to fail the provisioning if it has not started after 120 attempts.

Description of problem:
Cannot run VM because it is in Powering Up status, encountered during phase autostart_destination. Using same kickstart, same profile while provisioning in RHEV but only works part of the time.

Pete,

In order to reproduce the error, you'll need to somehow slow down your RHEVM.  I believe they are encountering this error because there is a delay of several seconds between the response of our call to power on the VM (which gets the correct response from RHEV) and the time that the VM changes from the off state in the provider.  The only thing I can think of to do to reliably reproduce this is to put a sleep in RHEVs code between replying to the caller of the power on and actually executing the power on.

Hope that helps,
Brandon

*** Bug 1240847 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 15 Taras Lehinevych 2015-11-18 12:17:14 UTC
According to comment #4 the way to reliably reproduce this bug is to put a sleep in RHEVs code between replying to the caller of the power on and actually executing the power on. 
Need information is about where exactly in RHEVs code should be added sleep.

Comment 16 Brandon Dunne 2015-11-18 15:17:05 UTC
Taras,  You would probably have to talk to someone on the RHEV team.  I don't know where that would be.

Comment 18 errata-xmlrpc 2015-12-08 13:19:14 UTC
