Ovirt devel - Oct 2008 - unable to add hosts in web admin tool

Hi,

I'm currently trying out ovirt.  I've installed the ovirt appliance on a
fedora 9 machine and have a seperate machine on a private lan which I am 
using as a node.  I've looked through the documentation but it doesn't 
seem to have been updated with the current release.

I've set up cobbler to have the node boot oVirt-Node-x86_64.  I noticed 
that the nodes that were already set up have a kernel parameter set 
"ovirt_init=scsi", do I need to have this set for my node too?  Once
the
node is booted, how do I add it in the oVirt web admin tool?  When I go 
to add a hos it doesn't appear in the list.

Justin.

Did you start the managed host in network bootup?
Do you have PXE feature in your managed host?
Do you have 2 nics on your management host?

Hello Justin:

http://ovirt.org/docs/Using_oVirt/Steps-installing-the-Bundled-Appliance.html
You can see they provide us the same url in doc for real physical machine.

Thanks,
Qiang

Hi Qiang,

The docs are not current, they don't reflect how it works in the current 
release.  I imagine with the amount of development going on the docs 
will be out of sync for a while, that's why I'm turning to the list.

Justin.
