Hi,

 

Our company is planning of taking oVirt in into our environment. We would have a few questions for that if you could guide us.

 

Hardware:

 

What would be the minimum configuration for us using oVirt?. Idea would be to replace all our current Linux and Windows servers with oVirt. There are currently 24 servers in use.

The goal would also be that the virtual servers could be migrated live and also in the HA configuration, i.e. if one hardware crashes execution continues on the other.

As far as I understand Ovirt enables this?

So we would like to know what kind of hardware (minimum) we should have for this size of environment?

 

Storagin:

Do all machines need a lot of hard disk space or is it enough to have only one or two? I'm referring to shared storage. Can you also have storagin as HA?

 

Host:

What happens to HOST1 and HOST2 virtual machines if the oVirt host server crashes?

Do they continue to operate without it, or do they crash at the same time?

 

Thank You!
