Description of problem: This RFE is about allowing to install the cockpit plugin on regular hosts. Currently the Cockpit plugin is tuned towards and based up on some assumptions which are just available on Node. I.e. we assume he-setup is installed on the host where the plugin is running. I.e. we assume that he root user is triggering the setup. To make the plugin also usable on regular hosts, these and other points need to be addressed.
We need to assume that hosted-engine --deploy is going to be run by some user with root permissions regardless. This is easy to workaround with cockpit's "superuser: try" Howerve, the assumption that he-setup is installed is unlikely to go away. Adding an alternative code path which checks whether ovirt-hosted-engine-setup is installed and displays any kind of friendly error message if it isn't is wasted effort (and gets us into the weeds with a lack of viable places to go from that page without recommending users drop to the shell and install that package manually). We need to just require ovirt-hosted-engine-setup as a dependency of the dashboard.
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup is already required in master
For this RFE, I want to clarify the following as well to define the test scope on this bug. What is the regular hosts we need to cover? RHEL 7.2.z RHEL 7.3.z CentOS 7.2.z CentOS 7.3.z? Still need to consider cockpit version then test the cockpit plugin.
We want this to happen in 4.1. Moving to UX to discuss this item.
Moving to a sub-component of ovirt-distribution until bugzilla engineers creates the ovirt-cockpit product.
*** Bug 1380641 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Moving to modified since the last pending dependency moved to modified.
The fix for this issue should be included in oVirt 4.1.0 beta 1 released on December 1st. If not included please move back to modified.
Sandro, we are working on this RFE verification right now, seeing my previous comment 3, I would like to clarify the test scope what supported distribution we will cover for 4.1 release? According to "oVirt 4.1.0 First Beta Release" email, we need to cover the following distribution, could you double confirm that? Thanks. <snip> This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.2 or later * Fedora 24 (tech preview) </snip>
