[Users] Problem Creating "oVirt Engine"

Thu Aug 1 19:59:23 UTC 2013

In a conversation via IRC, someone suggested that I activate "dnsmask" to overcome what appears to be a DNS problem.  I'll try that other possibility once I get home later today.

In the mean time, what do you mean by "fixing the hostname"…?  I opened and fixed the HOSTNAMES and changed it from "localhost-localdomain" to "localhost.localdomain" and that made no difference.  Albeit, after changing I didm;t restart, remove ovirtEngine ((using "engine-cleanup") and reinstalled via "engine-setup".  Is that what you mean…?

In the mean time, the fact that even if I resolve the issue of oVirtEngine I will not be able to connect to the oVirt Nodes unless I have DNS resolution, apparently means I should do something with resolving via DNS in my home LAN (i.e implement some sort of "DNS Cache" so I can resolve my home computers via DNS inside my LAN).

Any suggestions are MORE THAN WELCOME…!!!
