CentOS 6.4 got released and as OpenNode uses CentOS base yum repositories but blocks CentOS libvirt package update - that breaks simple ‘yum update’ system upgrade at the moment. In order the system upgrade to succeed again we have to provide new custom libvirt package build. New CentOS 6.4 based OpenNode OS is in the works with numerous updates and some new features - but it has yet to reach opennode-test repo for QA and then to be moved into stable - which will take at least couple of weeks from now. Since then please use the following ‘yum update’ sequence for deploying OpenNode related updates:

• Anaconda based - driven by kickstart
• ISO kickstart
• Cobbler kickstarts

In its current state virt-manager is not capable of fully managing OpenVZ linux containers - so it’s mainly a alternative GUI tool for doing KVM VM management with OpenNode OS - and not supporting all features that OpenNode OS may have. However we try to make virt-manager user experience as smooth as we can by pre-configuring libvirt for OpenNode related policies as much as possible.

OpenManage Server Administrator allows system administrators to manage individual servers in two ways: from an integrated, web-browser-based graphical-user-interface (GUI) and from a command-line interface (CLI) through the operating system. Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network.
