[ovirt-users] Can't restart hosted-engine installation: vdsm did not start

[gregor]

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

...
MainThread::DEBUG::2016-10-16
20:54:42,065::storage_log::69::blivet::(log_exception_info) IGNORED:
   Caught exception, continuing.
