Long time to boot RHEV guest Linux VM.

Trying to investigate on long boot time of a linux guest in RHEV Host.

Before executing init 6/reboot command , I noticed the time of shutdown and also recorded the time after boot .

It takes around 20-25 mins in booting.

In boot logs I can find the time stamps for the very first event is '18:14:38' , it is almost one minutes difference from the time after boot.

dev]$ date

From the serial console I see below output before shutdown n after boot:

Quote:

Feb 25 17:50:35 Bdata-2 sudo: admusr : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/admusr ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/reboot

Feb 25 17:51:08 Bdata-2 kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.

Feb 25 17:51:08 Bdata-2 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.10" x-pid="2715" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] exiting on signal 15.

Feb 25 18:14:35 Bdata-2 kernel: imklog 5.8.10, log source = /proc/kmsg started.

Feb 25 18:14:35 Bdata-2 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.10" x-pid="2651" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start

For this 25 mins of window , I cant find any logs/events that indicates the reason for such a delay in boot.

Could anyone help here on what should I investigate to narrow down the cause of the issue?
