While trying to delete a VM with virtual disk on CEPH Shared Storage i got the following error msg. It will not let me delete the VM in any way. It will not even let me start the VM

What is the output of

# grep www-data /etc/passwd

(is there an entry for www-data in /etc/paswd?)

# grep www-data /etc/passwd

This is the out of grep:


www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

I also noticed that i cannot access Console view any more. It gives me the following error:

As of now i am pretty much locked out of all VMs. SPICE protocol does not seem to work. Only changes has been made was to configure 3 NICs for bonding and reboot of node.

Here is the error syslog shows right after i try to power up a VM:

I think I can say this issue is now Resolved!

I tried the following and now all VMs are starting again.

1. #apt-get update
2. #apt-get dist-upgrade
3. #reboot

Not sure what caused it and how the update fixed it. Any possible reason?
