Re: [ovirt-users] Node hypervisor
Hello, A node is a physical machine which runs your VMs. Typically you have the Engine on one (virtual) machine and multiple physical nodes to run your VMs on. I hope this helps.

Please point to the exact doc you are refeffing to. There are several versions and flavors of ovirt (3.4 branch plus minor version, 3.5 branch , nightlies; AllInOne, Hosted Engine, 'Normal' Engine). For future posts, it is quite helpful if you supply this. Also, be aware of some general oVirt terminology: - The (oVirt) Engine is the controller and data collector for your guests, - A 'Host' is generally a physical machine used to run guests on, - Hosts are grouped together in clusters of similar hardware providing migration and other capabilities, - A Datacenter is a logical entity of clusters (hosts) and storage connections, networks, disks, ect. shared between them; - VDSM is the daemon running on the hosts to make this all happen; imagine it as a super process for qemu processes. > Install oVirt Node.

The above said, you basically need a psychical or virtual machine for the Engine and some additional hosts to run your guests (not true for AllInOne; witch should IMHO only used for demo/lab purposes. Imagine oVirt Node as something similar to EXi hypervisor; it is an imae containing all the stuff you need to add a machine as host to ovirt. The same can be achived by installing ovirt from the repos on a (preferring minimal) CentOS, RHEL, Fedora install. > Is a ¨node¨ a end user machine that uses a virtual machine? > Finally i want a Windows 7 virtualistion. There is no problem with that and Windows is very well supported as guest OS. For all of those, have a look on the excellent ovirt admin Guide [1]. This is still for oVirt 3.4 - but most of the stuff is true for 3.5 as well.
