after a fresh install of RHEL 6.4, make sure that it is up to date:
[root@rhevm ~]# yum -y update
register the machine to rhn:
[root@rhevm ~]# rhn_register -v --nox
[root@rhevm ~]# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-6
[root@rhevm ~]# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3.1
[root@rhevm ~]# rhn-channel --add --channel=jbappplatform-6-x86_64-server-6-rpm
or if you have a bad memory like me, you can configure the child channels via rhn web:
Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64
+ Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager (label: rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3.1)
Release Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64
+ RHEL Server Supplementary (label: rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-6)
+ Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (v.6 x86_64) (label: rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevh)
Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64
+ JBoss Application Platform (v 6) for 6Server x86_64 (label: jbappplatform-6-x86_64-server-6-rpm)
proceed with the installation:
[root@rhevm ~]# yum install rhevm
[root@rhevm ~]# rhevm-setup
Welcome to RHEV Manager setup utility
In order to proceed the installer must stop the ovirt-engine service
Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service? (yes|no): yes
Stopping ovirt-engine service... RHEV Manager uses httpd to proxy requests to the application server.
It looks like the httpd installed locally is being actively used.
The installer can override current configuration .
Alternatively you can use JBoss directly (on ports higher than 1024)
Do you wish to override current httpd configuration and restart the service? ['yes'| 'no'] [yes] : yes
HTTP Port [80] :
HTTPS Port [443] :
Host fully qualified domain name. Note: this name should be fully resolvable [rhevm.example.com] :
Enter a password for an internal RHEV Manager administrator user (admin@internal) :
Confirm password :
Organization Name for the Certificate [example.com] :
The default storage type you will be using ['NFS'| 'FC'| 'ISCSI'| 'POSIXFS'] [NFS] :
Enter DB type for installation ['remote'| 'local'] [local] :
Enter a password for a local RHEV Manager DB admin user (engine) :
Confirm password :
Configure NFS share on this server to be used as an ISO Domain? ['yes'| 'no'] [yes] : no
Firewall ports need to be opened.
The installer can configure iptables automatically overriding the current configuration. The old configuration will be backed up.
Alternately you can configure the firewall later using an example iptables file found under /etc/ovirt-engine/iptables.example
Configure iptables ? ['yes'| 'no']: yes
RHEV Manager will be installed using the following configuration:
=================================================================
override-httpd-config: yes
