Had a problem where on the host the vdsm service would not start.
The following is from #ovirt IRC chat after I emailed the sos report
from the host<br>

style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(32,74,135)">sbonazzo: </span>after
that, vdsm doesn't come up due to Mar 9 12:27:55 kvm1 daemonAdapter:

'/var/run/vdsm/svdsm.sock since supervdsmd didn't run<br>

style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(32,74,135)">sbonazzo: </span>jkp:
can you try to manually start supervdsmd service?<br>
<font size="2"><font color="#af7f00">(13:35:07) </font></font><span
style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(175,127,0)">jkp: </span>sbonazzo,
it is confirmed that the file is not there. But shouldn't the
service create this file -- Yes I'll try<br>
<font size="2"><font color="#204a87">(13:35:19) </font></font><span
style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(32,74,135)">sbonazzo: </span>jkp:
yes, it's supposed to<br>
<font size="2"><font color="#af7f00">(13:39:07) </font></font><span
style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(175,127,0)">jkp: </span>sbonazzo,
still gives me the : OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/run/vdsm/svdsm.sock'<br>
<font size="2"><font color="#204a87">(13:39:35) </font></font><span
style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(32,74,135)">sbonazzo: </span>jkp
does /var/run/vdsm/ exist?<br>
<font size="2"><font color="#af7f00">(13:40:55) </font></font><span
style="font-weight:bold;color:rgb(175,127,0)">jkp: </span>sbonazzo,
yes it contains [root@kvm1 ~]# ls /var/run/vdsm/ lvm sourceRoutes
trackedInterfaces v2v<br>
<br>
Later I received a email <br>

I see that libvirtd fails to start.
It might be due to Engine system clock being deep in the future?
</pre>
What I had failed to notice was that the vdsmcert.pem that was not
active.<br>
The ntp service running on the Engine was out of sync with a year
resulting in that of cause the certificate did not work and then the
vdsm would not start. <br>
I have a fairly new engine so I removed it and fixed the time issue
and all was perfect<br>
<br>
Thanks for a great help on the chat and on email<br>
