Basically the bootstrap process is making sure the relevant RPM files
are installed, and conflicting packages are either removed or causes
failure. There are some conflicts that are not in RPM level, which
bootstrap knows how to handle. These will not be handled in the path
you're taking. Similar issues you should expect is bios virt flags
and kernel / OS validations bootstrap is doing.
Furthermore, bootstrap is auto-generating a vdsm configuration, as well
as other things such as networking (which you stumbled upon), time-sync,
key & certificate generation signed by the engine-core, along with
setting up a core-dump folder and probably some other things which I
forgot.
So as you can understand bootstrap is handling many issues, and manual
installation, although possible, will not b e a simple one. If you're
heading this way I suggest you read the vdsm_bootstrap, vdsm_bootstrap_complete,
deployUtil and vds_installer python scripts. All should be available
on your engine-core machine.

Hi,
lets assume that i have a running system and i already did a yum groupinstall
"Virtualization*". Then I have a completely running kvm system with virtual
machine manager and so on. What do I have to do to add this host to ovirt? Can you explain
the steps?

Rene,
Standard bootstrap assumes base OS is installed, with access to relevant yum repo in
order to fetch vdsm and dependent RPM's. From this point of view, we concentrate on
VDSM, while kvm is simply a kernel module which should be loaded. Anything beyond will
probably cause manual intervention as you just had.

think only about that kvm is already installed on the host I want to add to ovirt.
