Hi Rene,
Thanks for your reply. My hypervisor is kvm which is already running on
Centos6. Now I understand the fact that I can't simply connect kvm with
ovrit-engine rather I will need to import machines from kvm to
ovirt-engine but my hypervisor will still be kvm ? Am I right ?
yes. you could try to add the host to ovirt-engine, then create a VM,
then dd the guest into the managed disk by ovirt-engine.
if you use a LUN per disk, you can also use the direct lun disk with
ovirt-engine without porting/converting the data.
On a different node what is the role of vdsm ?
its the agent on the hypervisor the engine uses to communicate with.
Thanks

Your hypervisor must be CentOS 6 or Fedora 18/19 in order to be able to
manage it with oVirt (other Linux distributions are still a wip).
As oVirt has a totally different concept as virt-manager you have to
import your machines into oVirt. As Markus already wrote this can be
done using virt-v2v.
