Description Simon Grinberg 2012-06-21 12:39:53 UTC
Description of problem:
When a Host is contending for SPM role, any attempt to activate another hosts fails and goes to non operational 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place all the hosts into maintenance 
2. Activate a hosts (let's call it hosts A)
3. Wait until it's status change to contending 
4. Activate another host (let's cal it host B)
  
Actual results:
Host B becomes non operational with a message saying that the connection to storage failed

Expected results:
Host activation is successful 

Additional info:
This is critical in power failure recovery scenario. Assume that power fails and then returns. All the system starts at once.
If all the hosts woke up before RHEV Manager all is fine, if not then the first host that RHEV Manager detects starts contenting. All the other hosts the wake up during this time are moved to non operational, leaving the system with only part of the hosts active after power failure. 

This what happened to me on my setup.
