/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log may give a hint why libvirtd was slow to start in this instance. On el7/Fedora we have better chance to use systemd so that vdsm is started only after libvirtd is serving. But on el6 I don't see a real solution to this. we wait 10 seconds utils.retry(libvirtOpen, timeout=10, sleep=0.2) we can retry twice as much. But not much more.
