[Users] new wiki for ovirt-engine-cli

[Li, David]

Hi Michael,

I installed the cli rpms and connected to the engine. But the "create host" keeps giving errors and I have no clue why:

[oVirt shell (connected)]# create host --address '10.10.62.106' --cluster-id 'default' --name 'xxx' --root_password 'yyy'
error: incomplete command

>From the help menu, the rest are optional. So why is this error?

You have examples creating vm and datacenter. Can you add some how to create hosts?

those aren't latest, you should wait for the next drop or build new ones by yourself (see how in wiki)

yes
