Hi all,

I am starting a small hosting business and want to use oVirt w/ KVM as my virtualization platform.

I currently have 2 host servers and an iSCSI NAS.

Do I need a dedicated machine to run oVirt? Can I run it from a VM?

Of course you can install ovirt-engine on a VM.


Can I use the all-in-one solution in a Production environment, with a 2nd host? ... would I need to install oVirt on both hosts, in the event that one of my servers went down?

I do not recommend to use all-in-on solution in a Production environment. You need to install ovirt-engine on one host(might be your desktop) and install VDSM on the two host servers. ovirt-engine doesn't support HA yet, so you need only one ovirt-engine.


I am trying to see how I can survive if my oVirt server fails. It would be great if it ran from a VM but I can also see issues with doing that...

Another option would be to run oVirt on my workstation and have it connect to my 2 host servers in colocation over the internet?
For ovirt-engine installation, 4G plus memory is recommended. So you can start a VM with more than 4G memory and install ovirt-engine on that, also make sure ovirt-engine can connect the two host servers over the internet.


Please let me know how you've accomplished an oVirt setup with 2 servers.

Thank you!

Nic
