[ovirt-users] libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: Failed to start SASL

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem after an upgrade from CentOS 7.3 to 7.4, but I don’t want to plan now the migration to oVirt 4.x.
Can you help me to correct the bug and keep oVirt 3.6 for a few months ?
It really seems to be a modification in libvirt authentication because when I comment out
#auth_unix_rw="sasl"
in libvirtd.conf, libvirtd starts but my Host is still unresponsive in oVirt.
My production environment  is running on a single Hypervisor and I need the second one.
Thanks

After hours of struggle, I removed all the hosts.
Installed a fresh centos 6.x on a host. Now it works like a charm.

I will install a fresh ovirt 4.x, and start migration my vm's on new centos 7.4 hosts.

The only supported way seems exporting/importing vm's for different ovirt engines. I wish  I had plain  qcow2 images to copy...


You could detach and attach a whole storage domain.

Hello,
Today I updated my ovirt engine v3.5 and all my hosts on one datacenter (centos 7.4 ones).

You are mixing an ancient release (oVirt 3.5) with the latest CentOS. This is not supported at best, and who knows if it works.

and suddenly  my vdsm and vdsm-network  services stopped working.
btw: My other DC is centos 6 based (managed from the same ovirt engine), everything works just fine there.

vdsm fails dependent on vdsm-network service, with lots of RPC error.
I tried to configure vdsm-tool configure --force, deleted everything (vdsm-libvirt), reinstalled.
Could not make it work.
My logs are filled with the follogin

This may sound like a change that happened in libvirt authentication, which we've adjusted to in oVirt 4.1.5 (specifically VDSM) I believe.

=================
I do not want to lose all my virtual servers, is there any way to recover them? Currenty everything is down. I am ok to install a new ovirt engine if somehow I can restore my virtual servers. I can also split centos 6 and centos 7 ovirt engine's.
