[Ovirt-devel] host not shown in default hardware pool
Hello, I am new to ovirt and please bare with me if my question has been asked before. I googled, studied the wiki and searched the bug list. But I couldn't find anything similar. I've just set up a new server with F10, fully patched and installed ovirt using the Rawhide build instructions. All seems to work nicely, but I am stuck at one point. After 'sudo ovirt-install-node-stateful' followed by a host reboot I started the appliance again. My problem is that the host is not shown at all in the default hardware pool. Any hints what's going wrong here? What could be missing that the appliance doesn't see my host? Networking, bridge, etc. is all ok. I had also to tweak /etc/httpd/conf.d/ovirt-server.conf because the ovirt-appliance httpd doesn't start with the config file provided. There is already a ticket open on bugzilla. (#489819). Thanks a lot in advance. regards, Ingmar

The Rawhide install instructions are a bit dated now (I need to update them), and in fact I'm not sure they will work at all. The current install instructions are at http://ovirt.org/install-instructions.html, so you might want to read those before going further. Having said that, if you are operating on a single machine, the thing that would prevent your host from showing up at all in the default hardware pool could be two things: 1. a networking failure, or 2. your host has only 1 NIC. We have recently found a bug in which ovirt-identify-node, run from the ovirt-post init script, fails if there is only one NIC on the machine. You might try running ovirt-identify-node from the command line and see if that makes the host show up. Take care, --Hugh
