<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am starting a small hosting business and want to use oVirt
w/ KVM as my virtualization platform.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I currently have 2 host servers and an iSCSI NAS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
Do I need a dedicated machine to run oVirt? Can I run it from a
VM? <br>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
Of course you can install ovirt-engine on a VM.<br>

<div>Can I use the all-in-one solution in a Production
environment, with a 2nd host? ... would I need to install oVirt
on both hosts, in the event that one of my servers went down?</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
I do not recommend to use all-in-on solution in a Production
environment. You need to install ovirt-engine on one host(might be
your desktop) and install VDSM on the two host servers.
ovirt-engine doesn't support HA yet, so you need only one
ovirt-engine.<br>

<div>I am trying to see how I can survive if my oVirt server
fails. It would be great if it ran from a VM but I can also see
issues with doing that...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another option would be to run oVirt on my workstation and
have it connect to my 2 host servers in colocation over the
internet? <br>
</div>
</blockquote>
For ovirt-engine installation, 4G plus memory is recommended. So
you can start a VM with more than 4G memory and install
ovirt-engine on that, also make sure ovirt-engine can connect the
two host servers over the internet.<br>

<div>Please let me know how you've accomplished an oVirt setup
with 2 servers.

<div>Thank you!</div>
