Hi all,

I have just upgraded one of my oVirt nodes from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4.

After the reboot, the 4.4.4 image is correctly loaded but vdsmd is not starting due to this error:

vdsmd.service: Job vdsmd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

Looks like it has a dependency on mom-vdsm, and this as well has a dependency issue:

mom-vdsm.service: Job mom-vdsm.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

After some investigation looks like mom-vdsm has a dependency on ovsdb-server, and this is the unit creating the problem:

ovs-delete-transient-ports.service: Starting requested but asserts failed.
Assertion failed for Open vSwitch Delete Transient Ports
Failed to start Open vSwitch Database Unit.

Details below:
-- Unit ovsdb-server.service has begun starting up.

Any suggestions?
