RHEL H cannot start vdsmd
I am getting this boot.log message:
vdsm: libvirt already configured for vdsm
Starting iscsid:
initctl: Unknown job: libvirtd
vdsm: one of the dependent services did not start, error code 1
Also, when I run "initctl start libvirtd", I get the "Unknown job: libvirtd" error again.
/etc/init/libvirtd.conf is a symbolic link to /usr/share/doc/libvirt-0.9.4/libvirtd.upstart
If I copy this libvirtd.upstart to replace the link, then libvirtd will start, and vdsm will start also.
On reboot, the symbolic link is recreated and I am back to the same problem.
Does anyone have an idea about all this?
My channel subscriptions are:
rhel-x86_64-rhev-mgmt-agent-6-beta
rhel-x86_64-server-6
rhel-x86_64-server-6-beta
Thanks

I was just looking at this when you've placed this update.
This is already fixed and is targeted for the GA version.
The fix is similar to what you did when you've copied the file instead of soft link, so you should be good to continue as is.
In the current release that you have:
packaged=`/bin/rpm -ql libvirt | /bin/grep libvirtd.upstart | \
/usr/bin/tail -1`
target=/etc/init/libvirtd.conf
installed=`/bin/readlink -f "$target"`
if [[ "$packaged" != "$installed" ]];
then
/bin/ln -sf "$packaged" "$target" || return 1
/sbin/initctl reload-configuration
fi
The fix:
packaged=`/bin/rpm -ql libvirt | /bin/grep libvirtd.upstart | \
/usr/bin/tail -1`
target=/etc/init/libvirtd.conf
if ! diff -q "$packaged" "$target" >/dev/null;
then
/bin/cp -p "$packaged" "$target" || return 1
/sbin/initctl reload-configuration
fi
