[Users] can't get VM working (no ISO images, no Console)

24 Apr 2012

      Hi,

I've setup a test instance of ovirt like this...

- setup ovirt engine on Fedora 16 using yum (ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64)
- setup ovirt node "ovirt-node1" using the ISO image ovirt-node-iso-2.3.0-1.0.fc16.iso
- created a new datacenter with NFS storage ("datacenter2")
- created a new cluster ("cluster2")
- added ovirt node "ovirt-node1" to cluster "cluster2"
- created an NFS storage for virtual machines ("nfs_storage1")
- created an NFS storage for ISO images ("iso_images1")
- created a new VM on "cluster2" with disk space provided by "nfs_storage1"

...but I fail to get any VM working. First of all, I've uploaded an ISO image with
the iso-uploader. I can verify that it was uploaded successfully:

[root@ovirt-engine ~]# engine-iso-uploader -v -i iso_images1 upload FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

Still I am unable to select the ISO image from the VM configuration menu,
the "change CD" function doesn't show the ISO image either.

Besides that my test VM is in status "Up", but I can't select the 
"console" option, it is grayed out.

So maybe you can advise me how to get the first test VM working. I'd like
to continue with further tests as soon as possible :-)

Thanks
