Try looking at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_command_line/index.html So following the correct instructions, you will eventually need to install the engine setup RPM and then run: hosted-engine --deploy That will set up the host with the hosted-engine VM. Then you'll need to get into that VM and set up the engine within the engine VM. > # On oVirt node, installing engine: > Couldn't get the networking working, even though I added it during the > install process.

I wouldn't install ovirt just to get API support for VMs; it's way overkill for that. In my mind, the role of ovirt is to provide web-based access (management and console) to VMs for a team of distributed users without requiring shell access to the host system. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/UDVILQY2T65MXHG4UW4B6B242L2LVZRQ/
