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

I personally don't see any reason for rebooting a hypervisor if NFS is unavailable or timing out due to IO/Net issues, especially if you have VMs on local or CLVM storage.
I'll patch our installation to not reboot the hypervisor, since I had a pool of 10 servers happily rebooting after a VLAN configuration error which ran also CLVM with fencing on top. Was not fun to fix. And those behavior does't exist on Xenserver to my knowledge

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) 
>          Components: KVM
>    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
>         Environment: RHEL/CentOS 6.4 with KVM
>            Reporter: Dave Garbus
>            Priority: Critical

> We have a group of 13 KVM servers added to a single cluster within CloudStack. All VMs use local hypervisor storage, with the exception of one that was configured to use NFS-based primary storage with a HA service offering.
> An issue occurred with the SAN responsible for serving the NFS mount (primary storage for HA VM) and the mount was put into a read-only state. Shortly after, each host in the cluster rebooted and continued to stay in a reboot loop until I put the primary storage into maintenance. These messages were in the agent.log on each of the KVM hosts:
> 2014-01-12 02:40:20,953 WARN  [kvm.resource.KVMHAMonitor] (Thread-137180:null) write heartbeat failed: timeout, retry: 4
> 2014-01-12 02:40:20,953 WARN  [kvm.resource.KVMHAMonitor] (Thread-137180:null) write heartbeat failed: timeout; reboot the host
> In essence, a single HA-enabled VM was able to bring down an entire KVM cluster that was hosting a number of VMs with local storage. It would seem that the fencing script needs to be improved to account for cases where both local and shared storage is used.
