Hi, I have copied and formatted Russ' QuickStart here: http://www.openlmi.org/node/62
It should be less verbose and more up-to-date. Please review the new text and once I stop receiving complaints and update requests I'll replace the old QuickStart with this one.
Thanks and regards,
Hi,
good job, I like this brief version much more that the original one.
I would add few formatting changes for us 'tl;dr' folks - when reading this step-by-step tutorials I usually just copy&paste the code blocks and don't read the text around (especially when doing it repeatedly).
So, I would add code block in 'Remote Access' section saying
$ passwd pegasus
and highlight the 'Alternatively' in second bullet.
I hope that more pages on OpenLMI.org will follow this simple and not-too- verbose style.
Let's please scrap the reference to giving root access via Pegasus, actually. It's not something we really want to encourage. I'd suggest linking to http://www.openlmi.org/PegasusAccessControl instead, which describes the manual approach of adding other users to the wbemNetwork access or using FreeIPA HBAC to control access.
I made two minor corrections to the content: 1) I normalized all the commands to use # as the prompt, since they really do need to be run as root. (The only exception being the 'lmi' command at the end, but that was already using #) 2) The command to get the certificate was copying server.pem, but it needs to be client.pem. The client.pem is the server certificate. In older versions of pegasus in Fedora and RHEL, the two were the same file (so it was working in our old guide), but in recent versions they have diverged and client.pem should be used (which would have always been correct).
