Hello,

It should not be very hard to implement that in the Web Interface ?
That way, you could check if the VM is not already started on another 
node.

I think it would be a great way to improve the "production readyness". 
And also, it could be handled by someone who does not have a ssh root 
access to the servers.

That make me think also to another great functionnality (seen on 
XenServer) : put a node in maintenance mode = migrate all the VMs on it 
to other nodes in one step. for kernel upgrade for example.
