When an oVirt Node is booted it tries to contact the oVirt Server by 
looking up its IP address via DNS SRV record.  If it finds an oVirt Server 
it attempts to register with it.

However, if you reinstalled the ovirt-appliance and are using Nodes from a 
previous appliance installation this is not going to work since the Node 
will have a keytab from the old appliance.  This is only a problem if you 
installed the Node onto a local hard disk.  If you run the nodes 
completely stateless they always retrieve a new keytab on every boot.
