<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">As a prospective user of oVirt I have noticed quite a lot of glaring problems with the documentation, is it still being maintained? Since outdated or incomplete documentation is often worse than nothing, a possible solution would be to just link to the official Red Hat Virtualization documentation.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Here are some examples I found after looking for less than 5 minutes:</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">1. </p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><a href="http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/">http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">The top of this web page has two videos from 2012. The left one "oVirt Open Virtualization Basics -- Single Machine Install" is a guide for the all in one install. This is misleading as it no longer possible to perform an all in one install since 3.6, and in general it would appear the oVirt project does not support deploying oVirt to a single machine. The right video is a guide on creating VMs using the GUI from 2012 which has since changed.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Overall both videos should be removed from the Documentation page as they only confuse and mislead new users. I, and I am sure many other users would greatly appreciate more current video guides.<br></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">2.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><a href="https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#fresh-install">https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#fresh-install</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Under the notes for this there is the following passage:</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>“Although hosted-engine and engine-setup use different wording for the admin password <span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>("'admin@internal' user password" vs "Engine admin password"), they are asking for the same <span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>thing. If you enter different passwords, the hosted-engine setup will fail.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Why is the wording different? This appears to be entirely unnecessary, and also confusing as to why it is asking for the password a second time at all.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">3.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><a href="https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#fresh-install">https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#fresh-install</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">After finishing the hosted engine deployment script the guide states:</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>“After completing the OS installation on the VM, return to the host and continue. The installer <span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>on the host will sync with the VM and ask for the <span class="gmail-Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>engine to be installed on the new VM:”</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">It is unclear how you are expected to access the VM, is the Web UI up at this point? Do you need to use virsh to connect to the VM? The guide should be explicit.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">4.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"><a href="https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/#prerequisites">https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/#prerequisites</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%"> I. The documentation discusses Fedora 19, Fedora is currently on version 24 and 19 is EOL.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">II. Under “Storage and Networking” there is no mention that oVirt requires at least 3 GlusterFS bricks to achieve quorum.</p><p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">III. Under “Virtual Machines” there is no mention of Windows 10, Fedora past version 20, or RHEL/CentOS 7.X.</p></div>
