oVirt does not have a built-in grouping mechanism.

You can use Ansible [1] to automate the creation of several VMs
together. Another possible solution is Vagrant oVirt provider [2].

You need to watch for any resources that are shared between the
different groups of VMs, you will probably share a network at the very
lest, so you will need to be careful about allocation of IPs and host
names.

You can try using the Newton integration [3] to provide layers
networks that are not shared. The is also built-in OVS support, but
AFAIK its not yet mature enough.

As a side note, since we were not willing to have any resources share
between different oVirt instances in the oVirt CI system, we ended up
creating Lago [4], which keeps everything confined to a single
physical host.

[ovirt-users] vm grouping

[david caughey]

Hi There,

Our 3 node Data center is up and running and I am populating it with the
required vm's.
It's a test lab so I want to provide pre fabricated environments for
different users.
I have already set up a CentOS box for nested virtualisation which works
quite well but I would really like to group multiple machines together in
to one template so that when a user deploys or chooses the template they
get all the vm's together as one. Is there a way to do this in oVirt
without nested virtualisation?
I particularly want to provide a ceph set up with 3 nodes 1 mgmt server and
a couple of clients, which I had planned to do through nested virt but
believe that multiple vm's would be cleaner.

Any suggestions as to how to achieve this?

Any help or hints would be appreciated,

BR/David
