Two final steps I've done that are only necessary in my environment, where the host itslef is providing the NFS service for storage domains: After install you have to make a dependency so that VDSM Broker starts after NFS Server In /usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-broker.service Added in section [Unit] the line: After=nfs-server.service Also, for vdsmd service, in file vdsmd.service changed from: After=multipathd.service libvirtd.service iscsid.service rpcbind.service \ supervdsmd.service sanlock.service vdsm-network.service to: After=multipathd.service libvirtd.service iscsid.service rpcbind.service \ supervdsmd.service sanlock.service vdsm-network.service \ nfs-server.service NOTE: the files will be overwritten by future updates, so you have to keep in mind...
