Smart Reboot blocked in XO, and no Rolling Pool Update
-
When I would like to smart reboot my host using XO button Advanced > Smart Reboot it tells me:
Smart Reboot failed because ... VMs have their Suspend operation blocked. Would you like to force?At first I thought this is because some VMs had enabled "Protect from accidental shutdown". So I disabled this for all VMs. However, even after a forced smart reboot, and after restarting all VMs I still do get the same message when I initiate a Smart Reboot.
What could be the root cause of this and how can I fix it?
I think is issue is what keeps me from doing a "Rolling Pool Update".

I don't think "Protect from accidental shutdown" is what you are hitting here.
If any VM on that host has a host-bound device attached (PCI passthrough, vGPU, or an SR-IOV VIF), XAPI refuses to suspend it withVM_HAS_PCI_ATTACHED, and Smart Reboot stops there.xe host-get-vms-which-prevent-evacuation uuid=<host-uuid>should name them.
For the Rolling Pool Update half, XO 6.7.0 (released 30 July) added ashutdownPinnedVmsoption that shuts those VMs down and starts them again afterwards instead of aborting the run, so upgrading might get you past it.
I could easily be wrong about which of the two you are actually hitting, though, so I would start with that command and see what comes back.

@djingo Hi !
Does all your VMs have guest tools ?
