I was under the impression that my oVirt VM would show up in oVirt and that I could manage it through there...
What you're saying is that I should just run it seperatly and not manage it with itself (oVirt)? keep it on my shared storage so that I can run it off any of the 2 servers? But not manage it with oVirt (itself). I think I'm starting to get it now... I really appreciate your help!
