Hi, We recently upgraded vdsm on a host using the webadmin. After activating it, it kept failing so we tried to activate it back via 'systemctl start vdsmd'. # systemctl start vdsmd Job for vdsmd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status vdsmd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. Having a look at the status of the process I see: # systemctl status vdsmd ● vdsmd.service - Virtual Desktop Server Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vdsmd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since vie 2017-05-26 11:02:41 WEST; 14s ago Process: 25018 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/vdsm/vdsmd_init_common.sh --pre-start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) may 26 11:02:40 systemd[1]: Failed to start Virtual Desktop Server Manager. may 26 11:02:40 systemd[1]: Unit vdsmd.service entered failed state. may 26 11:02:40 systemd[1]: vdsmd.service failed. may 26 11:02:41 systemd[1]: vdsmd.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart. may 26 11:02:41 systemd[1]: start request repeated too quickly for vdsmd.service may 26 11:02:41 systemd[1]: Failed to start Virtual Desktop Server Manager. may 26 11:02:41 systemd[1]: Unit vdsmd.service entered failed state. may 26 11:02:41 systemd[1]: vdsmd.service failed. To check what happened I run the vdsm_init_common.sh script by myself and saw: # /usr/libexec/vdsm/vdsmd_init_common.sh --pre-start vdsm: Running mkdirs vdsm: Running configure_coredump vdsm: Running configure_vdsm_logs vdsm: Running wait_for_network vdsm: Running run_init_hooks vdsm: Running upgraded_version_check vdsm: Running check_is_configured Current revision of multipath.conf detected, preserving lvm is configured for vdsm libvirt is not configured for vdsm yet Modules sebool, passwd, libvirt are not configured Error: One of the modules is not configured to work with VDSM. To configure the module use the following: 'vdsm-tool configure [--module module-name]'. If all modules are not configured try to use: 'vdsm-tool configure --force' (The force flag will stop the module's service and start it afterwards automatically to load the new configuration.) vdsm: stopped during execute check_is_configured task (task returned with error code 1). ----- I run the 'vdsm-tool configure --force' command, it ends successfully and after that I can start the vdsmd process. But... after a while it fails again and I need to re-run the same command all the time. Is this a known bug? any temporary workaround? Versions: vdsm-4.19.15-1.el7.centos.x86_64 libvirt-2.0.0-10.el7_3.5.x86_64 Thanks. Regards.
