Log files can be found in the link below.

I see a null pointer exception in the engine logs.
Comment 3 anmol babu 2015-02-24 08:08:36 UTC 
I looked into this issue and could see the following lines in the engine.log:

2015-02-21 04:45:13,075 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.RefreshGeoRepSessionsCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-8) [7680cca5] Error during CanDoActionFailure.: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.GlusterCommandBase.canDoAction(GlusterCommandBase.java:107) [bll.jar:]
        at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.RefreshGeoRepSessionsCommand.canDoAction(RefreshGeoRepSessionsCommand.java:33) [bll.jar:]


This has been addressed to, in the patch : http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36938/

And I also see the engine version to be  :
3.6.00.0.master.20150203062303.git783b38a.el6

And I assume from this, that this was built on 03/02/2015.

But the above mentioned patch was merged on 05/02/2015.

Kindly update your setup and try once.

Verified and works fine with ovirt-engine-3.6.0-0.0.master.20150219124503.gitafae793.el6.noarch

Able to sync the gee-rep session to UI.

As mentioned in comment 3 it was a problem with setup i.e engine was not updated, after upgrading the engine i do not see this issue.
Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2015-11-04 13:45:02 UTC 
oVirt 3.6.0 has been released on November 4th, 2015 and should fix this issue.
If problems still persist, please open a new BZ and reference this one.
