# systemctl start opennebula
Job for opennebula.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status opennebula.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
# journalctl -xe -u opennebula.service

I find the problem, there was an error before no such file or directory which is pointing to error in configuration file. I checked /etc/one/oned.conf twice and find a missing comma ! Then its started successfully.
