Just did more research on this and it seems as if the reason was related to my interface configuration. Disclaimer upfront: I've a public IP configured on this server (since it's a hosted root server), but changed the IP addr here to 192.168.0.99 I started with the output from ´vdsm-tool restore-nets': ipv4addr, prefix = addr['address'].split('/') ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack So I dumped the addr dictionary: {'address': '192.168.0.99', 'family': 'inet', 'flags': frozenset(['permanent']), 'index': 2, 'label': 'eth0', 'prefixlen': 32, 'scope': 'universe'} I've no clue why there's no "/32" at the end, but that's what my netmask actually is due to the special configuration I got from my hosting provider: [root@vhost1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=00:52:9F:A8:AA:BB IPADDR=192.168.0.99 NETMASK=255.255.255.255 SCOPE="peer 192.168.0.1" (again, public IPs changed to private one, if that matters. And I skipped the IPv6 config above...) So what I did next, was to patch the netinfo.py: [root@vhost1 vdsm]# diff -u netinfo_orig.py netinfo.py --- netinfo_orig.py 2014-12-24 22:16:23.362198715 +0100 +++ netinfo.py 2014-12-24 22:16:02.567625247 +0100 @@ -368,7 +368,12 @@ if addr['family'] == 'inet': ipv4addrs.append(addr['address']) if 'secondary' not in addr['flags']: - ipv4addr, prefix = addr['address'].split('/') + """Assume /32 if no prefix was found""" + if addr['address'].find('/') == -1: + ipv4addr = addr['address'] + prefix = "32" + else: + ipv4addr, prefix = addr['address'].split('/') ipv4netmask = prefix2netmask(addr['prefixlen']) else: ipv6addrs.append(addr['address']) and recompiled it: [root@vhost1 vdsm]# python -m py_compile netinfo.py Et voilà: vdsm-tool ran fine: `hosted-engine --deploy' passed the previous failing stage!

Hope this helps to find the root cause....
