Frankly, I don't see the difference in there that much. The basic point in this is -- have a visible node in ovirt-engine on which I can experiment with (mainly) libvirt. At first I though I need to have the 'ovirt-node' package installed but it doesn't seem it's needed now. I searched through the documentation but I haven't found a lot related to this particular use case. >>> >>> I'm new to the oVirt world and coming from the lower layer, I must admin >>> I feel kind of confused. >>> >>> I'm trying to create a "lab" with ovirt-engine (up and running), some >>> ovirt-node (with sw qemu) and ovirt-node with all the stack running on >>> git sources (qemu, libvirt, vdsm and ovirt-node).
