Hello,

I have a 4.4.8 host that results as nonresponsive.

The DC is FC based

Tried to restart some daemons without effect (vdsmd, mom-vdsmd wdmd)

Then I executed a ssh host reboot but it seems it continues this way after rebooting

From storage and network point of view it seems all ok on the host.

In vdsm.log of the host I see every 5 seconds:

In engine.log

I would like to try to put into maintenance the host and then activate, or reinstall, but there is a power action still in place since 1 hour ago (when I executed ssh host reboot attempt that got host rebooted but not connected apparently) that prevents it... what is its timeout?

WHat can I check to understand the source of these supposed communication problems?

Thanks,

Gianluca
