Re: [Users] What parameters to use in automated node install to enable engine CLI register?

Hi Itamar, I logged into the admin portal but didn't see any pending host approval. When I tried to add a new host (my stateless ovirt node), the install failed. I can ssh into my node from the machine running the engine so the networking doesn't seem to be the problem. Is it because it doesn't support stateless node? Can you suggest a few ways to debug this?

Is there any way to use ovirt CLI to do this? you can't browse the engine from another machine to use its gui? yes, you can do everything from the cli, to begin with, try to connect with it to the engine and get the list of hosts. > > David > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Itamar Heim <iheim(a)redhat.com <mailto:iheim@redhat.com>> > *To:* David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net <mailto:david_li@sbcglobal.net>>; &quot;users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org>" > <users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org>> > *Sent:* Wednesday, December 18, 2013 5:31 PM > *Subject:* Re: [Users] What parameters to use in automated node > install to enable engine CLI register? > > On 12/18/2013 04:33 PM, David Li wrote: > > I am still confused.
