Thank you for the whole blog chain above. I could figure out the problem in my installation-- the Storage Config File was messed up with duplicate entries and XML Tags!! Bottom Line as most of you know-- Edit XML file always in the proper XML Editor..I edited that in the Notepad and messed it up! Now fixed with proper config entries.

Thank you much!
