Edward, (OT answer) Actually, oVirt is far more versatile than you seem to think. I've managed to successfully install oVirt on anything down from a 4 core "desktop" Xeon E3 with 16GB RAM and 4 x 1TB HDD MDRAID with both localhost NFS and GFS (which is being used to test updates) up to multiple-node GlusterFS clusters and with >1TB RAM per node and way-too-many cores. Granted, when using a desktop machine one must be _very_ careful when configuring the hosted engine, but once you get it installed, it's quite resilient. Oh, and when trying to deploy the hosted engine on a low-end machine, I'd strongly advise you disable cockpit (to conserve RAM), and use the console version per [1]. - Gilboa [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/self-hosted_engine_guide/deploying_the_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cli_deploy _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/D77VL7TMR3LJ6Q3RBIK4NYMOPHQGNCTG/
