I am thoroughly confused at this point. I have three servers. One for a controller and two for nodes. These servers were used as an oVirt environment just last week. But, now, when I try to do a fresh installation with the exact same configuration as before, I can't add nodes. Here is the process I used previously:
1.  Install Fedora (minimum install) on each machine
2.  Install tar on each node machine
3.  Install the engine on the controller machine.
4. Add nodes using IP and password in the web admin interface and let the controller build the node.
5.  Profit.

Now that procedure does not work. When I try it that way, the node installs and then fails with an error that it can't configure the management network on the node. I have a second working oVirt environment, but I can't even add the nodes into that one. So, I decide to try installing using the oVirt Quick Start document located at http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide. The problem is that, there is no "oVirt Engine" tab in the administration app. It's my understanding from the document that this is how you tell the node which controller it should be allowing. I can't add the nodes that I built with the oVirt Node Installation CD. The documentation on this is so sparse that I can't figure out what's going on. It was so easy to set up before, but I'm having nothing but trouble, now. I have been at this for days, when the first time took me about an hour. What am I missing? Could someone either update the Quick Start guide, or reply with some up-to-date instructions on how to install this environment? FYI, I am doing this with completely fresh installs of Fedora 19. No software is being reused or reconfigured. It's completely stock.

Controller=192.168.165.70
Node01=192.168.165.71
Node02=192.168.165.72

All are connected via the same switch. I can ping all the three machines from each other. If I try to ssh from the controller into either of the nodes, I get "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer". If I attempt to ssh into either of the nodes from another machine on the network, I get the same message. If I try to add either node using the web interface, It fails with: Error while executing action: Cannot add Host. Connecting to host via SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details. The engine.log shows: 2013-12-13 12:21:29,714 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVdsCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-3) CanDoAction of action AddVds failed. Reasons:VAR__ACTION__ADD,VAR__TYPE__HOST,$server 192.168.164.71,VDS_CANNOT_CONNECT_TO_SERVER

Please help!
