Your host-deploy log ([1], from your previous report) has:

What happens if you manually try to start the vdsmd service on the host (not vm)?
If it still fails with the above error, try to fix that first. Not sure what might
cause this - perhaps non-standard network configuration or something like that.
You might search other logs for relevant errors from the time you do that.
Changed the subject to attract vdsm people's attention...
