[ovirt-users] Hosted Engine Spamming Transition E-Mails

[Charles Tassell]

Hi Didi,

   Okay, I looked at the logs as you suggested and found one of the 
hosts was showing that it couldn't connect to the local VDSM.  I 
restarted the host and then tried running VDSM through the console so 
that I could see the debugging output, and it crashed my storage domain 
taking down all the VMs in the cluster. So that wasn't good... ;-)

   I'm going to leave that host down and reinstall it.  I think the 
issue was that when I originally installed it there was a problem with 
attaching to the FC storage.  I rebooted it and it seemed to be working 
fine, joined the cluster et all, but when I ran VDSM manually it looked 
like it wanted to reinitialize the storage or something.
