[ovirt-users] Add host to oVirt: unprovisioned without using username/password in vdsm-tool

[Matt .]

Hi,

I found out that a browser times out when you select an "Pending
Approval" host, the browser becomes unresponsive for a while.

This could be because of the installed cockpit module maybe, I'm not
sure but I see more bad response on selecting hosts where the cockpit
package is not installed but the tab in oVirt is loaded.

Regards,

Matt
