[Ovirt-devel] Adding hosts to the hardware pool

[Laurent Monnoye]

Ok, that was it. Problem solved :-) Thanks a lot !!!

I don't know why livecd-iso-to-pxeboot wasn't run during the install.
I might have to dig into the log files to find out. I have installed
the whole thing as indicated in the doc
(http://www.ovirt.org/install-instructions.html):

# rpm -ivh http://ovirt.org/repos/ovirt/ovirt-release-LATEST.noarch.rpm
# yum update --enablerepo=ovirt
# yum install --enablerepo=ovirt ovirt-server ovirt-server-installer
ovirt-node-image ovirt-node-image-pxe.

So either I made a mistake then, or there's a bug in the install
process. I will have to install other ovirt servers in the future, so
I'll pay attention to that and update this thread accordingly.

Now I can finally start having some fun!..

Thanks again for your help!
