VDSM

VDSM is a daemon which is required by a Virtualization Manager such as oVirt-engine or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to manage Linux hosts and their KVM virtual machine guests. VDSM manages and monitors the host’s storage, memory and networks as well as virtual machine creation, other host administration tasks, statistics gathering, and log collection.
