<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Simone,<br>
<br>
Looks like the vdsm log is empty...<br>
<br>
[root@ovirt-node-01 ~]# ls -l /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log<br>
-rw-r--r-- 1 vdsm kvm 0 Nov 23 15:41 /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log<br>
<br>
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...<o:p></o:p></p>
