To give some background I've been working with Unix for years, I'm a AIX System Administrator and I also support our small Red Hat farm (30 servers). We recently started using RHEV and I'd like to get to use oVirt to help me get more hands on with it at home and just cause it's a fun project.

I've installed OE and VDSM on the same box and setup 2 LOCAL data domains: iso, storage1. Everything is working great until I do a reboot... when the server comes back up I can't seem to get the mounts back. I see them get mounted but OE keeps telling me it failed (Failed to activate Storage Domain storage1 (Data Center Local)). I've tried and rebooting the VDSMD process, and keep clicking active on the data domain. I can sometimes get it to come back but I don't know what made it work or why it came back. Just so I'm not missleading I am doing a reboot without putting them in maintenaince mode I know this definitly is not best practice but since this is a home server there's a good chance that it will get turned off without warning often (power, kids, wife unplugging to put in vaccum...).

So finally my question is should the local mounts just come back on their own and something is broken? Or should I be doing some manuals steps to get them back? If so what are those steps?

I appreciate any and all help and please let me know what more information I can provide.

Thanks,
Shawn
