that's all good - you have latest released beta installed

Do you have node3 running? Taskomatic needs at least one Node to be up and running to be able to execute libvirt storage pool commands.

Yeah, this is old instruction, if you have running oVirt managed VM, you should get "Console" link in VM details which starts external vnc viewer via virt-viewer-plugin.

Please double check you have node3 running: virsh list on the host machine should show ovirt-appliance and node3 VMs running - in "fake" Nodes modus, oVirt managed VMs are created inside nodeX VMs (yeah, confusing and useless, this is just for demo/quick test in development)
