Hi,

Thanks Kevin for your feedback on this. I will try to attached the 
conclusive logs for the guys if they consider/think to dig further into 
it for any new relevant probe or cases.


So here are the rpm versions installed:
/
//[root at hyper02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep vdsm//
//vdsm-cli-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.noarch//
//vdsm-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.x86_64//
//vdsm-gluster-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.noarch//
//vdsm-xmlrpc-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.noarch//
//vdsm-bootstrap-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.noarch//
//vdsm-python-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.x86_64//
//[root at hyper02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep qemu//
//qemu-img-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.8.x86_64//
//qemu-kvm-rhev-tools-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.8.x86_64//
//gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch//
//qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.8.x86_64/

Regards,
Alex.
