failed to load module libvirt_driver_storage.so
Today I was installing virt-sysprep tool on one of KVM hosts. When this was done I couldn't list VMs anymore using virsh:
[root@host1 ~]# virsh list --all
[454/564]
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
Hmm that's not normal obsiously. Checked the libvirtd status:
[root@host1 ~]# service libvirtd status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status libvirtd.service

I confirmed that installing virt-sysprep caused also upgrading libvirtd related packages:

So once more I read the problematic log entry:
failed to load module /usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-dri \
ver/libvirt_driver_storage.so /usr/lib64/libvirt/connec \
tion-driver/libvirt_driver_storage.so: symbol dm_task_g \
et_info_wit
h_deferred_remove, version Base not defined in file lib \
devmapper.so.1.02 with link time reference
and decided to yum upgrade device-mapper-libs. Afterwards I restarted libvirtdand everything started working perfectly.
This would not happen if I had updated all the libraries, but unfortunately all I wanted was virt-sysprep installed - not update'ing all packages.
Finally filed a bugrequest
