Question - if oVirt goes down... do the ovirt-nodes and VMs remain up?
Keith, how would you set yourself up with these specs: 2 host servers (quad-core xeons with 32gigs of ram) 1 iSCSI NAS Starting to think there is no way to achieve HA with this setup? oVirt requires a dedicated machine? Thank you! Nic PS. Could oVirt be integrated into ovirt-node on every server?
