After upgrading packages on a RHEL 6.3 host, vdsm does not start and VMs cannot be started.
Issue
After upgrading packages, including vdsm
and qemu-kvm-rhev
, on a RHEL 6.3 host, the vdsmd
service would not start. The versions installed were;
- vdsm-4.10.2-1.6.el6.x86_64
- qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4.1.x86_64
When this version of vdsm
was removed and the previous version (vdsm-4.9.6-44.3.el6_3) re-installed, vdsmd
was then able to start. However, Virtual Machines could not be started.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 3.1

- vdsm-4.10.2-1.6.el6.x86_64
