Ok so I will try the new iso.  For now I have intalled the stable vdsm packages instead of nightly.  I was able to get vdsm to register and the node is up.  Sweet Victory!  I would like to use the ovirt node iso in the future though.  I have begun to test with one node.  Still trying to connect to ISCSI Storage though.  I am trying to figure out all the requirements for ovirt.  Can we use local storage for one node to test?  Also I have a proper bridge setup for fedora 16 can we post to the wiki or is it one of you whom does that?

Thanks,

Dominic

This appears to not be working at the moment.  There are 404 errors in
the log.  I'll file a bug for the vdsm team to look into this.

This is not working out of the box.  I get the same error you do about
it being an unsupported platform.  I filed a bug [1] for this issue with
a patch as well[2].  This patch can be applied directly on the engine
system to get around the problem.  oVirtNodeHypervisor is simply missing
from the list of supported systems.
