Re: [ovirt-users] Migration oVirt Engine from Dedicated Host to Self-Hosted Engine

Your current setup is optimal. For example - if node running self-hosted engine dies for whatever reason, what happens next? As an option you can buy a couple of fanless Celeron mini PCs (1 active + 2nd backup with 8GB RAM and 128 - 256 GB SSD) and run host engine here under KVM, so image can be easily cloned/restored/moved if necessary.
