Cannot add a host to Cloudstack

[Andrew Chiw <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello everybody, I’m playing with Cloudstack on a single server, which will host everything (primary/secondary storage). The problem is I can’t seem to add a host to Cloudstack (it takes a long time, and then after a while it says it failed). I want to add the same machine that Cloudstack is running on to Cloudstack so it will run Qemu+KVM on it.

What exactly does Cloudstack do anyway when I’m adding a host (physical machine)? Does it try to ssh in with root and do something? Why does it even need root/password? It says it was set when I installed the hypervisor - but I installed qemu-kvm, and I was never asked for a password. It doesn’t make sense anyway.

Thanks,
Andrew
