[Rdo-list] Instance auto resume after compute node restart

Hello, We want to have instances auto resume their status after a compute node reboot/failure. Means when the VM has the running state before it should be automatically started. We are using Icehouse. There is the option resume_guests_state_on_host_boot=true|false which should exactly do what we want: # Whether to start guests that were running before the host # rebooted (boolean value) resume_guests_state_on_host_boot=true I tried it out and it just didn’t work. Libvirt fails to start the VMs because I couldn’t find the interfaces: 2015-04-30 06:16:00.783+0000: 3091: error : virNetDevGetMTU:343 : Cannot get interface MTU on 'qbr62d7e489-f8': No such device 2015-04-30 06:16:00.897+0000: 3091: warning : qemuDomainObjStart:6144 : Unable to restore from managed state /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/instance-0000025f.save. Maybe the file is corrupted? I did some research and found some corresponding experiences from other users: “AFAIK at the present time OpenStack (Icehouse) still not completely aware about environments inside it, so it can't restore completely after reboot.” Source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23150148/how-to-get-instances-back-aft... Is this feature really broken or do I just miss something? Thanks in advance! Cheers Chris
