   @borisstoyanov thanks, went through docs, but still unclear for me the exact configuration..
   There is no description what should be done to enable and configure HA (Is it enough to switch it on in UI or not?).
   What are requirements from point of feature support or software versions?
   I found some text about:
   ~~~
   A host must meet the following criteria to be deemed eligible for HA operations by the KVM HA host provider:
       The host must be a member of a cluster using the KVM hypervisor
       The host must have a power management status of ON or OFF
       The version of the KVM agent deployed on the host must support performing activity checks
       At least one volume attached to the VM(s) must support the activity check capability
       There should be at least one other host in the cluster.
   ~~~
   But its not clear for me..
   What does "The version of the KVM agent deployed on the host must support performing activity checks" mean? - There is no such term (activity checks) in KVM docs.
   "At least one volume attached to the VM(s) must support the activity check capability" - hot it can be determined? In what terms? I terms of storage or kvm?
   
   For example, my installation is CS 4.11.1 (KVM) + CEPH
   I can enable HA for hosts - no errors appear, but in fact all hosts are in DEGRADED state.
   And I cant understand what point I should start from to investigate the issue.
   Are there any KVMHAProvider docs? (like what are checks? how they are executed and so on)
