I have seen number of issues with documentation , specially for KVM

I managed to figure them out quickly without help from anyone.
But maybe it will become an issue for other admins
We all have to figure it out but
'You never get a second chance to make a
first impression'
And if your first impression is that the package is carelessly packaged, full of bugs and
hard to install, you may decide that other cloud management systems are
"better" even though if you persisted with the installation, you might get a
great setup.
There is really no excuse for documentation that is wrong.
However, we do need to take a minute when we find an error or an incomplete
description, to report it so that it gets fixed.
If you think that you have found the right answer, add it to the description of
the bug so that it is easier to fix.

if this step is missing or not explained clearly.
I have been leveraging my complete lack of experience to identify gaps and
errors in the docs.
Nothing is quite as frustrating or as damaging to the reputation of the
package as installation procedures that are wrong.
I have over 20 years on Unix and Linux experience so I am pretty patient
with open source documentation.
Cloudstack needs a lot of work in this area to simplify the basic install.
IMHO, Cloudstack should be available as an ISO distribution that in one
step installs a standalone management server running on CentOS.
There is no earthly reason why a sys admin needs to go through the hoops
that are currently required to get started.
Install the ISO, set the IP and it should be ready to run.
Does the base OS for the Cloudstack manager really matter once you are up?
If so, how many ISOs are really required?
Hint:
Single physical eth0 with instructions on how to add additional interfaces.
Local storage with instructions on how to add external storage.
At least, one would be ready to actually use Cloudstack in 10 minutes
instead of xx hours and the installation guide would be a lot smaller and
you could probably start using the GUI after the first 10 minutes.
It would also make it easier to write correct documentation since a lot of
the current errors are in sections that have nothing to do with Cloudstack.

You need the client on any machine that wants to access a database on
another machine.
You should not have to install the server on each machine.
You may also need a mysql connector.
I am not sure about this but watch out for errors accessing the remote
database in case the app does not include its own connector and
automatically configure it to find the remote database.

Help!
I am setting up cloudstack management on one server with MySQL installed
on a second server, both on CentOS. I have followed the installation
material and setup mysql and edited the my.cnf file as well, but when I go
back to the management server to run the cloudstack-setup-databases script
pointing to the mysql server I get an error at the very end.
Error:
/bin/sh: mysql: command not found
Below is exactly what happens when I run the script on the management
server. I have already set SELinux to permissive and edited the iptables on
both servers ot open the port 3306 as well...
Thanks in advance!
