the same URL that is used locally, but when I execute the URL via my
Firefox browser I get the message that it is unable to connect.
Which URL?
I've drop the firewall on both the server and client machine as a
possible
solution but it did not work.
Is there something extra that is needed to access the ovirt console
remotely?
Please clarify "ovirt console".
The FQDN is entered into my DNS, however, I did find that during the
configuration process that IP was consumed by ovirtmgmt.
Only during the installation, or also after it's finished?
I was surprised to see that I'm just assuming that its apart
of
congiruation process. I have other ports on my sever and I have entered
them in my DNS also with the same name but a different IP address.
What must I do to gain access to the ovirt console remotely, it would
surely make the configuration process easy from my desk vs being in the
server area.
1. I suppose that you deployed a hosted-engine.
2. It sounds like you might confuse the name of the _host_ and the name of
the _engine_ VM. Each has its own name/fqdn. The deploy process asks you
about both.
3. For accessing the engine web admin UI, you generally go to
https://$engine_fqdn/ovirt-engine/
.
4. You might also have cockpit configured, on port 9090, on the host. This
indeed might be firewalled, not sure, but is not needed for engine admin
access, only for accessing the specific host(s).
If this is still unclear, or not working, please clarify exactly what you
are trying to do and what exact error you get.
Thanks and best regards,
