Hi,
I have couple of RHEV hosts (ovpxen,RHV2, RHV10 etc) and i'm trying
to connect from one of the client machine (C1). All the RHEV host have
libvirt modified by vdsm. It looks like the below

Now from the client C1 which cert should i place in
/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem so that i can access from the client using the URI
qemu+tls://ovpxen.ind.hp.com/system <
http://ovpxen.ind.hp.com/system>.
Please note the host
IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com
<
http://IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com> is ovirt managed host. It is
not the client.
My problem here is i can't change the hypervisor hosts as there are too
many of them and it is configured by vdsm . What certs should i take
from host so that i can use it in the client so that i can connect to
multiple hosts from the client using virsh or virt-manager . I need tls
as remote protocol as i'm trying to automate commands.
you should be able to do read-only access without special config iirc.
taking actions requires the vdsm password, but worth discussing if you
want to take actions under the feet of vdsm what they would be.
