Comment 2 Martin Perina 2018-07-30 14:47:04 UTC

Looking at the logs it seems that VDSM was started at 

  Jul 19 12:33:56 bb03-rhv06 systemd: Started Virtual Desktop Server Manager

and GetCaps call from engine was returned at 

  2018-07-19 12:34:11,321+0200 INFO  (jsonrpc/7) [api.host] FINISH getCapabilities

but Kdump server started later:

  Jul 19 12:36:27 bb03-rhv06 kdumpctl: kexec: loaded kdump kernel
  Jul 19 12:36:27 bb03-rhv06 kdumpctl: Starting kdump: [OK]

so GetCaps call return Kdump is not available on host. So we will need to add explicit dependency on kdump service to vdsmd service.

This issue could be workarounded by putting host to Maintenance and Activating it again manually after successfull engine restart.
