VCSA 6.5: Failed to start vmware-rbd-watchdog.service (AutoDeploy)

[Sergey_eXPert]

Hey guys,

Faced a bug, when trying to start AutoDeploy while connected over SSH to VCSA 6.5 appliance:

Failed to start vmware-rbd-watchdog.service: Unit vmware-rbd-watchdog.service is masked.

When do the same using GUI, it just loosing vCenter connection.

Did anyone know how to fix this?

Hello,

Try to free some space in /storage/log/.

It might help.

Regards,

Ivan.

I ran into the same issue and needed to clear space in /storage/log/ before i could start rbd.
