Hi Sandro,
Have not installed a hosted engine nor have installed an ovirt engine ,
have just installed an ovirt node in one of the bare metal servers and
logged into the server using a cockpit.
When I browse to ovirt virtual machine "create New vm' is greyed out, is
ovirt node dependent on the ovirt engine ?
Thanks,
Nagaraju

should give you the cockpit plugin for running VMs.
Just be aware this is not a use case that involves oVirt bits, this is
basically CentOS workflow.
