Perry, please explain the purpose of this. Currently RHEV-H downloads the root ssh public key from RHEV-M. Why do we need to set the root password on RHEV-H? Is it related to bug 735725? (In reply to comment #1) > Why do we need to set the root password on RHEV-H? Is it related to bug 735725? This is to enable "rhevm will pass to rhevh" part from bug 735725 For RHEL installation flow, RHEV-M requires root credentials, and by default, root is not enabled on RHEV-H. (In reply to comment #0) > The only issue with this approach is that we do already have a root_password > kernel cmdline that is not supported and only intended to be used by Red Hat > Support. small correction, boot parameters are rootpw and adminpw > We need to deal with situations where the user attempts to set both > root_password and rhevm_admin_password simultaneously.
