webvirtmgr

This aims to simplify the install process of retspen's webvirtmgr by providing a RPM for the web interface as well as a RPM to configure the hypervisor along with a script to add SASL users to the hypervisor. It also provides some enhancements to auto-configure hypervisors.

These RPM's should work under CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Oracle Linux 6.

Auto Configuration

This will attempt to prepare your hypervisor to be able to talk to webvirtmgr. If the SSH credentials are populated during the hypervisor setup, auto configuration will automatically be attempted.

• Only supported for CentOS variants.
• SSH into the hypervisor and install webvirtmgr-hyp-1.6-1 package.
• Check if provided SASL user exists. If not add the user.
