[Ovirt-devel] How to install ovirt in working environment?

[Joey Boggs]

If you are familiar enough with using git and adding in a few patches 
from the mailing list you can achieve using a remote ipa server,  until 
it gets acks from the list or folks that have tested it, it won't be 
commited. If you want to use cobbler that's already setup, (on the 
question that asks if you have a cobbler setup already, answer yes and 
add your hostname/user/password)

Here's the patch list that will allow you to use another ipa server but 
it does try to do so right now using ipa-client-install. I'm not 
entirely sure how ipa-client install will behave if it's ran twice so 
you may want to skip that step by running:  touch 
/var/ace/single_execs/ipa_setup prior to running ace install ovirt


[PATCH server] update ovirt-add-host to use ipa commands instead of 
kadmin.local
[PATCH server] separate ipa common tasks freeipa::common and rename 
ipa_server_install to ipa_install
[PATCH server] add server-side groundwork for remote freeipa server
[PATCH server] update host-browser to use ipa commands rather than kadmin
[PATCH server] last patch to implement remote freeipa
