             Summary: Cannot add a Debian host to a KVM cluster
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-2455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2455
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Hypervisor Controller, Install and Setup, KVM
    Affects Versions: 4.0.2, 4.0.1, 4.0.0
            Reporter: Ahmad Saif


After installing the cloud-agent packages on Debain system, you cannot add it to a KVM cluster due to a bug on the python library "utilities.py"  The script on "class Distribution" will do the same operation for Ubuntu if the distor is Debian, which is wrong .. for the following reasons :

1st: it will check as instructed for the following file "/etc/legal" and make sure it have the work Ubuntu on it, and this file doesn’t exist on Debian 

2nd: It will check if the KVM is enabled by calling a system script that is not available on Debian  the script is "/usr/sbin/kvm-ok" 

The proposed work-around is : 
for the first issue : echo "Ubuntu" > /etc/legal
for the second issue is to copy the content of kvm-ok from an Ubuntu system and put it on the same path on the Debian system.

I think the fix for this bug should be like this :

When looking for the distro check "/etc/issue", and when checking if the KVM enabled or not use the same function used on Centos, by checking if the path ("/dev/kvm") exist
