Hi Didi,

OK, false alarm. Your host-deploy log ([1], from your previous report) has: ================================================================================ 2014-10-20 14:42:41 DEBUG otopi.plugins.otopi.services.rhel plugin.execute:861 execute-output: ('/sbin/service', 'vdsmd', 'start') stdout: Starting multipathd daemon: [ OK ] Starting rpcbind: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] Starting wdmd: [ OK ] Starting sanlock: [ OK ] supervdsm start[ OK ] Starting iscsid: [ OK ] [ OK ] vdsm: Running mkdirs vdsm: Running configure_coredump vdsm: Running configure_vdsm_logs vdsm: Running run_init_hooks vdsm: Running check_is_configured libvirt is already configured for vdsm vdsm: Running validate_configuration SUCCESS: ssl configured to true.

In order to identify when this empty log is created i just reinstalled ovirt 3.5 AllInOne on a fresh installed Centos 6.5 as root user (the ls -l /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log* output from above is from the fresh install) the empty vdsm log is created after the installation step: yum install -y ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone
Then i did the engine-setup step (Complete settings/log at the end of this mail). Again with the error: [ ERROR ] The VDSM host was found in a failed state. Please check engine and bootstrap installation logs. [WARNING] Local storage domain not added because the VDSM host was not up. Please add it manually.
What happens if you manually try to start the vdsmd service on the host (not vm)? If it still fails with the above error, try to fix that first. Not sure what might cause this - perhaps non-standard network configuration or something like that. You might search other logs for relevant errors from the time you do that.
