hosts in the Disconnected state.

[Germaine Dioh <ge...@iperceptions.com>]

Hi there,

Following some manipulations I did to fix the realhostip issue, my 3 CloudStack 4.2.1 Xen hosts got disconnected for no apparent reason.

Now they are in the disconnected state.

I tried the API reconnectHost command but it seems this command cannot act on hosts in the Disconnected state.

At this stage, what can I do to get the hosts to reconnect, quite preferably without losing my VMs ?

I RTFMed to no avail, I can't find the answer.

Thanks !

Germaine.

Hi Pierre-Luc,

The reconnect button does not appear to be available on disconnected hosts. I think it only works on status Up, Alert, Rebalancing (bug 1137 seems to confirm this). I did try via the API directly but this did nothing.

No the Hosts haven't been hotfixed since initial install. Maybe I should do them but I can't put them in maintenance mode as they ALL went into Disconnect State at the same time !

If a host is disconnected, will it periodically try to reconnect ? I see no trace of reconnection attempts in the logs. Is disconnected permanent ?


Thanks !

Have you tried the force reconnect button from the UI? unless it is the same as reconnectHost API.

did you apply some hotfix into xenservers?
