Hi, Found some time for ovirt testing again ;-) How do I set the root password on the node? First I registered the node from the node admin console. In the "Ovirt Engine" tab, I put in the ovirt management server and a password. This registers the node to ovirt and I can approve and activate it. Then I run in to a powermanagement issue, so I removed it. To get it registered again, I enable ssh password authentication on the security tab and fill in a password. After that I try to register it from ovirt but it fails to register: Error: Cannot add Host. SSH authentication failed, verify authentication parameters are correct (Username/Password, public-key etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details. When I try to ssh to the node with root and the password I specified, I am unable to login; I can only login with admin and the password I specify on the Security tab. engine.log: 2013-03-15
