hello Alexandra, thanks for your interet in oVirt!

In addition to what Yaniv already outlined, did you manage to run the Vdsm testsuite?

A good first step could be indeed to make sure the lago environment is up and running and
it can run the ovirt system tests.

Feel free to file issues ond/or ask for help also on the devel at ovirt.org mailing list.
Once you are played a bit with lago, it is a good idea to introduce yourself here;
you can find a broader audience and even more mentors for lago itself (the lago developers
hang around on thet ML).

I recommend to work on a CentOS 7.2 or Fedora 24 system, either real or virtualized.

Should you have any question, feel free to post a message on devel at ovirt.org, or ping me
on irc (fromani on the #vdsm channel on freenode).

Please note the following assumes you have one oVirt installation (of any kind), and basic knowledge
of the architecture.

The application task for the idea you expressed interest in is:

1. write a system test to make sure one host has the 'ovirtmgmt' network available (defined, and running).
   another way to check this is to make sure the host has one active nic which is part of the aforementioned
   network. You can check this from the oVirt Engine webadmin UI: select the "host" panel, check
   the "network interfaces" subtab in the lower portion of the screen.

Please note the above is a VERY terse introduction. You will likely need clarifications.
You are more than welcome to ask for clarifications via mail (here), and/or join the #vdsm
IRC channel on the freenode network.
