----------------------------------------

             Summary: HA should wait for at least 'xen.heartbeat.interval' sec before starting HA on vm's when host is marked down
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-7184
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7184
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Hypervisor Controller, Management Server, XenServer
    Affects Versions: 4.3.0, 4.4.0, 4.5.0
         Environment: CloudStack 4.3 with XenServer 6.2 hypervisors
            Reporter: Remi Bergsma
            Priority: Blocker


Hypervisor got isolated for 30 seconds due to a network issue. CloudStack did discover this and marked the host as down, and immediately started HA. Just 18 seconds later the hypervisor returned and we ended up with 5 vm's that were running on two hypervisors at the same time. 

This, of course, resulted in file system corruption and the loss of the vm's. One side of the story is why XenServer allowed this to happen (will not bother you with this one). The CloudStack side of the story: HA should only start after at least xen.heartbeat.interval seconds. If the host is down long enough, the Xen heartbeat script will fence the hypervisor and prevent corruption. If it is not down long enough, nothing should happen.
