Marcus Sorensen commented on CLOUDSTACK-600:
--------------------------------------------

Are you sure this isn't just a misunderstanding in how cloudstack works? Nothing regarding a VM host's libvirt information should be persistent. When a storage pool is needed, cloudstack defines it. When a VM needs to be started, cloudstack creates the XML definition on the fly and feeds it to libvirt. So when a KVM host reboots and the network isn't accessible, or you say no VMs exist, it's no surprise to me, as the management server has to tell the agent which VMs exist and when to start them.

> When you reboot a VM host running KVM local storage VMs, the VMs are deleted from libvirt. I presume this is due to CloudStack thinking it's migrating them away from the host, but obviously, given that we're on local storage, it's unable to do that. The result is that the VMs are not able to be restarted when the host comes back online.
