Description

I've experienced some erratic behavior when when setting a host in maintenance mode:

I had about 6 Virtual routers running and 2 system vms in a given host , after putting this host in maintenance mode the system vms failed over successfully.

The problem came in when the VirtualRouters failed over , they did not start up at all, even after waiting 1 hour for HA to kick in .

When i went on and start the virtual routers manually it would fail with this error:

2013-04-17 08:54:39,566 DEBUG [allocator.impl.FirstFitAllocator] (catalina-exec-2:null) Host name: kickseed, hostId: 1 is in avoid set, skipping this and trying other available hosts
2013-04-17 08:54:39,566 DEBUG [allocator.impl.FirstFitAllocator] (catalina-exec-2:null) Host Allocator returning 0 suitable hosts

The work around i found is :

Destroying the virtual router for network X
Restart network X
Is this the expected behaviour for virtual router fail over ?
I'm using cloudstack 4.0.1 on Ubuntu .

Thanks!
