Description Julie 2015-07-28 07:37:58 UTC

Some examples I came across in the RHEV training that could be added to our docs:
* Setting mac address range for VMs. (MacPoolRanges)
* Configure user session time out interval.(UserSessionTimeOutInterval)
* Configure how long to wait before reconnecting the Host.(ServerRebootTimeout)

Comment 1 Julie 2015-10-23 00:15:45 UTC

See bz#912260 for new way to configure MAC pool range. According to http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Scoped_MacPoolManager, MAC pool range can no longer be configured using the engine config tool.
