Hey, > I just want to clarify the following questions: > > 1.) Is it possible to install ovirt-node, and then install a hosted > engine? Yes. > 2.) If the answer to 1.) is "Yes", does it require some sort of > NFS-enabled storage, or can you confgiure local storage on ovirt-node > and install the engine to there? Currently you can install hosted-engine on eitehr NFS or iSCSI storage > 3.) Is it possible to create NFS-enabled storage on ovirt-node? No. Maybe you technically can, but I can just strongly discourage to do that. > 4.) Can you install the hosted engine onto external NFS storage, then > move/migrate it to local storage on ovirt-node?

Maybe this will work in future, when we can also configure some storage server on Node. But for now that is not supported. - fabian _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
