Hi All,
Just had a rather new experience in that starting a VM worked but the
kernel entered grub2 rescue console due to the fact that something was
wrong with its virtio-scsi disk.
The message is Booting from Hard Disk ....
error: ../../grub-core/kern/dl.c:266:invalid arch-independent ELF maginc.
entering rescue mode...
Doing a CTRL-ALT-Del through the spice console let the VM boot
correctly. Shutting it down and repeating the procedure I get a disk
problem everytime. Weird thing is if I activate the BootMenu and then
straight away start the VM all is OK.
I don't see any ERROR messages in either vdsm.log, engine.log
If I would have to guess it looks like the disk image isn't connected
yet when the VM boots but thats weird isn't it?
As an update to this:
Just had the same problem with a Windows VM but more importantly also
with HostedEngine itself.
On the host did:
hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global
hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
Stopped all oVirt related services, cleared all oVirt related logs from
/var/log/..., restarted the host, ran hosted-engine --set-maintenance
--mode=none
Watched /var/spool/mail/root to see the engine coming up. It went to
starting but never came into the Up status.
Set a password and used vncviewer to see the console, see attached
screenschot.
hosted-engine --vm-poweroff, and tried again, same result
hosted-engine --vm-start, works
Let it startup and then shut it down after enabling maintenance mode.
Copied, hopefully, all relevant logs and attached them.
A sosreport is also available, size 12Mb. I can provide a download link
if needed.
Hopefully someone is able to spot what is going wrong.
Regards,
Joop
