Description scott 2014-02-18 14:48:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Fresh install of ovirt-node-iso-3.0.4-1.0.201401291204.vdsm34.el6.iso on an IBM HS22 blade.  Add it to the engine, approve it on the engine, installs and then goes non-responsive.  On the node itself the logs show that vdsm dies quickly and then it tries to respawn it over and over until it times out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-node-iso-3.0.4-1.0.201401291204.vdsm34.el6.iso

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Fresh install
2.  Add to engine
3.  See VDSM fail to start

Actual results:
VDSM fails to start

Expected results:
VDSM starting

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the help, I found the problem and it's a duplicate bug.
Below the steps how I got the point and workaround. A next updated ovirt-node iso should contain the fix.

# rpm -qa | grep -i vdsm
vdsm-python-zombiereaper-4.14.1-3.el6.noarch
vdsm-cli-4.14.1-3.el6.noarch
vdsm-xmlrpc-4.14.1-3.el6.noarch
vdsm-4.14.1-3.el6.x86_64
vdsm-reg-4.14.1-3.el6.noarch
ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm-0.1.1-9.el6.noarch

from /var/log/messages I saw:
==================================
Feb 19 02:10:33 localhost respawn: slave '/usr/share/vdsm/vdsm --pidfile /var/run/vdsm/vdsmd.pid' died too quickly, respawning slave
Feb 19 02:10:34 localhost python: error in accessing vdsm log file

# ls -la /var/log/vdsm 
I identified vdsm.log and metadata.log as root:root (it's ok supervdsm.log as root:root but not vdsm and metadata)

Changed to vdsm:kvm (correct owners)
# chown vdsm:kvm vdsm.log metadata.log 
# service vdsmd restart (Host is UP again)

Thanks!
