In the past we've talked about running libvirt or ovirt on

Now that we have the server access we should really decide. I want to
reach an agreement before the next meeting (monday 18).
I think we have sufficient input (thanks for that!) to make a short
summary of the thread.
- There seems to be a very strong preference to go for oVirt.
- Lack of knowledge setting up shouldn't be a problem because we should
be able to get plenty of help if needed.
- Resource wise we think we have enough and if not we'll find that out
along the way.
- Dave suggested use alterways ovirt. Possible problem there is that the
user level API was only added in 3.2 which is still beta and I think
Alterway is still running 3.1. This could be a project in the future
since oVirt to oVirt migrations should be easy.
Can we conclude that we want to install oVirt on alterway02? If so
there's some questions I do have:
- Do we still want to put it on CentOS 6? It has received limited
testing, but EL6 is (IMHO) easier to maintain than Fedora.
- Do we pick oVirt 3.1 or 3.2? Mike Burns said 3.2 would be the better
choice because migration from 3.1 to 3.2 will not be easy. 3.1 would
also mean running on F17, 3.2 on F18 (or maybe EL6).
