Hi,

Yes, the ovirt backend does not shut down or power up any hosts directly, it 
can work only through vdsm. Therefore you need one running host per datacenter 
to be able to manage the rest of the hosts.

I understand the motivation, but for smaller installations I believe it would 
be so great if the backend could do it as well. What vdsm does in the 
background is not much more than calling the ipmipower command.
