Can you please use strace on it?

Hi Simone,

Looks like the vdsm log is empty...

[root at ovirt-node-01 ~]# ls -l /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 vdsm kvm 0 Nov 23 15:41 /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log

Yes, I did execute the ‘vdsm-tool configure –force’ command before the restart, looks like it worked OK, but still the same problem with starting vdsm...


Can you please try manually run /usr/share/vdsm/vdsm as vdsm user?


[root at ovirt-node-01 ~]# su - vdsm

[root at ovirt-node-01 ~]# grep vdsm /etc/passwd
vdsm:x:36:36:Node Virtualization Manager:/var/lib/vdsm:/sbin/nologin
[root at ovirt-node-01 ~]# runuser -l vdsm -c '/usr/share/vdsm/vdsm'

[root at tiramd1 ~]# sudo -u vdsm /bin/bash
bash-4.2$ whoami
vdsm
