[Users] New user to oVirt, and I haz a sad so far...

[Will Dennis (Live.com)]

Docs should be updated with a warning then as to the "alpha" status of the ovirt-node product... It was a huge time-sink for me.

Hi,

my advice would be the following:

for "nodes" use either a "full"
minimal centos or fedora and install ovirt.org repo on top of that.

then everything works.

the "node.isos" provided by ovirt are in pre-alpha state to be honest.

sure you still have to disable selinux
(or better configure it correctly).

But you have no problems with configurations which are not persisted and as a bonus you can install $your_favourite_tool on the node, such as tcpdump nmap etc. for debugging.

Again: I would strongly advise against useing the node.isos from ovirt.org at the moment.

There is just too much stuff not working or bugged, even simple things like network configuration.
