I'd suggest that there be some indication that we need to add a master storage domain.

Is the master storage domain the same one used to store VMs or can it be a separate domain which is used only as the master and VMs go elsewhere. Does is need a minimum amount of storage space?

The confirm reboot issue I think is because it's a menu entry that shows up whether or not the confirmation is needed and I thought it might have been an issue when I was troubleshooting. Currently my issues are due to running the oVirth Host and engine on a guest hosted on VMware Workstation on a Windows PC with limited memory <G>. But it's enough to do some testing and get ready to replace ESXi on my physical server. As always there is a learning curve when moving to a new product and oVirt/RHEV looks like a worthy alternative to VMware, MS, etc. I will check out the new release and definitely use it on the server. Thank you for your help.
