Description of problem: vdsm's rpm package currently installs it enabled by default. This means that after a reboot, it configures the system and starts vdsm. This is not very useful, in itself, and I think most sysadmins would agree that it's unexpected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Since oVirt 3.6, as part of systemd support. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install vdsm 2. Reboot 3. Actual results: vdsm configures the system and starts, after reboot Expected results: vdsm does nothing until manually configured and enabled, usually by adding the machine as a host to an oVirt engine. Additional info: I personally also ran into a specific problematic flow during development phase of oVirt 4.4, which was a result of this: 1. Installed some version of vdsm, took a snapshot of the machine, did some work, tests, etc. on it 2. Reverted to the snapshot, booted the machine, ran 'dnf update', tried to deploy hosted-engine. This failed, because newer versions of libvirt and vdsm were incompatible with the changes done by vdsm-tool of the version installed in step (1.), during the reboot of step (2.).
