The installation process is long but easy if you follow the instructions (although I encountered some small problems). One oVirt is installed you can access it through port 8080. For a production environment I would not recommend using oVirt right now. It is still under development and some important features are not yet available on the web interface, namely the configuration options, the storage configuration and high availability. Therefore, it will surely not fit your requirements now. But as a work in progress I would recommend you to follow its development as sooner than later it will be a polished and usable product. In the meantime, If money is what concerns you, RHEL is free but after 60 days you won’t have access to support nor updates (which is not critical if the system is running behind a firewall or is on an intranet which is not probably the case). If money is not an issue, go for RHEL or Citrix XenServer. And If money is definitely not an issue at all, I would go for vSphere from vmware as the best available choice for a production environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Also, other alternatives exist for servers virtualization like proxmox (the 2.0 beta is out) and eucalyptus (which will be release 3 soon).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Don’t hesitate to contact me If you have further questions on my experiences will all that software, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jose.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>De:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> users-bounces@ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>En nombre de </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Gary Scarborough<br><b>Enviado el:</b> jueves, 10 de noviembre de 2011 6:03<br><b>Para:</b> users@ovirt.org<br><b>Asunto:</b> [Users] ovirt vs RHEV-M<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I see you have instructions for building the ovirt manager up on the wiki. My question is: How does this compare to what Red Hat is shipping in RHEL? Is the code base currently the same as what Red Hat is shipping? I am evaluating ovirt for possible deployment in a university setting and wondering if it would be better to pursue a RHEL subscription for our cluster. Any light you could shed on this would be very helpful.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Gary<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
