Description of problem: Web Gui - changing a VM's host while online does not work or does not display proper error if it should be blocked Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): oVirt Engine Version: 4.1.0-0.0.master.20161111231310.gitd12e6f1.el7.centos How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create 2 hosts in one cluster 2.Create a VM in that cluster & see VM is assigned to host1 (camel_vdsb) 3.edit the VM -> host -> specific host -> choose host2(camel_vdsc) -> press OK Actual results: 1.VM does not move to the selected host or if its not possible show an error - which no error appears. 2.Reopening the edit VM window -> host -> I do not see any host assigned but a blank. Expected results: 1.VM should move to the selected host or if not possible show an error. 2.Reopening the edit VM window I should see the new VM .

Why should it move? What happens the next time you start the VM? I think your expectation is that it'll live migrate to the new host is wrong.
@Avihai: the meaning of the field you have edited was "where to start the VM". This does not have an effect on a running VM. If you turn the VM off and start again, it should start on the host you have picked in the dialog. If you want to move (e.g. migrate) the VM from one host to the other without restarting it, you need to click the "migrate" button in the VM main tab (not in the dialog but on the main tab itself).
Created attachment 1220760 [details] Attachment of missing specific host description @Tomas: So the first expected result is the expected behavior . But the 2nd expected result does not look like expected behavior . 2nd expected result: Reopening for the 2nd time (the edit VM window -> host tab ) after already choosing a specific host -> I do not see any host assigned but a blank. I also attached a print screen so you can see it for yourself .
I will also change the bugs header as well
right, it indeed looks like a bug
this has been fixed upstream and will arrive in 4.2, closing.
