Sometimes NMC's gstd crashed our RHEL and this fix it.
Mostly when reboot machine and console isn't closed before that.
1. Shutdown NMC server (ensure that gstd is not running)
2. Go to <NMC install dir>/cst
3. Remove the following files - csp.clb, csp.clb.bak, Config.xml
4. Copy Config.xml.template to Config.xml
5. Start NMC server
