I wiped the server clean and started over again today. In the process, I realized that, the previous time, I forgot to uncomment the Domain line in /etc/idmapd.conf. However, even though I included the step this time, the GUI installer still seems to hang on the final "Creating system VMs" step. I see two VMs running when I run "virsh list" (the secondary storage VM keeps getting regenerated). In the primary storage, it looks like there is one complete 693 MB image but the other two are only 11 and 12 MB, although they are gradually growing. What's happening here?
