Looking for some help/suggestions to correct an issue I'm having.  I have a 3 host HA setup running a hosted-engine and gluster storage.  The hosts are identical hardware configurations and have been running for several years very solidly.  I was performing an upgrade to 4.1.  1st host when fine.  The second upgrade didn't go well...On server reboot, it went into kernel panic and I had to load previous kernel to diagnose.  I couldn't get it out of panic and I had to revert the system to the previous kernel which was a big PITA. I updated it to current and verified installation of ovirt/vdsm.  Everything seemed to be ok, but vdsm won't start. Gluster is working fine.  It appears I have a authentication issue with libvirt.  I'm getting the message "libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed" which seems to be the core issue. I've looked at all the past issues/resolutions to this issue and tried them, but I can't get it to work.  For example, I do a vdsm-tool configure --force and I get this... Checking configuration status... abrt is already configured for vdsm lvm is configured for vdsm libvirt is already configured for vdsm SUCCESS: ssl configured to true. No conflicts Current revision of multipath.conf detected, preserving Running configure... Reconfiguration of abrt is done. Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/bin/vdsm-tool", line 219, in main     return tool_command[cmd]["command"](*args)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/tool/__init__.py", line 38, in wrapper     func(*args, **kwargs)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/tool/configurator.py", line 141, in configure     _configure(c)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/tool/configurator.py", line 88, in _configure     getattr(module, 'configure', lambda: None)()   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/tool/configurators/passwd.py", line 68, in configure     configure_passwd()   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/tool/configurators/passwd.py", line 98, in configure_passwd     raise RuntimeError("Set password failed: %s" % (err,)) RuntimeError: Set password failed: ['saslpasswd2: invalid parameter supplied'] ...and help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm not a linux/ovirt expert by any means, but I desperately need to get this setup back to being stable.  This happened many months ago and I gave up fixing, but I really need to get this back online again.
