You shouldn't need to RPMs any more. The RPMs were just a means for delivering the ISO to the host system from a yum repository, which is no longer needed. > - what is the purpose of ovirt_agent daemon ? I found that it is not > working but it does not impact anything AFAIK. ovirt-agent is a daemon which creates a few QMF agents that communicate hardware details back to the ovirt server when it comes up. When the node comes up and asks for its configuration details, the details sent down are based on whatever hardware was reported by ovirt-agent. If the hardware hasn't changed, then you won't see any impact. But if you bring up a new node and the agent fails then you won't be able to deploy VMs to that node since it's hardware capabilities will be unknown. -- Darryl L.
