Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • A RHEV host has stopped responding (set in the Admin GUI to "Non Responsive").
  • On the host, the vdsmd daemon keeps crashing, writing something like the following in /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log:

    MainThread::ERROR::2009-11-30 14:49:50,098::vdsmd_content::190::vds::VDSMD crashed immediately - ( < 2 sec) exiting without recovering
