Hi, after a failed hosted-engine installation I removed all the ovirt and vdsm packages, rebooted the system and started from scratch. But when I run "hosted-engine --deploy" it stuck's during starting vdsm. The logfile /var/log/vdsm/supervdsm.log gives me the following ...

Because the server has to be finished and shipped to my customer I decided to reinstall the whole operating-system. This is a very bad solution but after 20 hours of try-and-error I have to find any solution. Thanks for your help. cheers gregor On 17/10/16 10:36, gregor wrote:
