Thank Dan,
your wise comments are very much appreciated. am just wondering whether to go CentOS 6.X
or 7 at this time especially as 7 has only just come out the stable gate. a question
would be whether oVirt would work best on the 6.X or 7 version, especially as its
developing so quickly. Just looking at my two systems there is quite a gap already:
C6
--
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.415.el6_5.10.x86_64
C7
--
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.7.0.1.x86_64
All thoughts appreciated. Thanks, P.

If you really intend to use that, you will need to install neutron with whatever plugins
you need and use it as an external provider for the VMs. If this is just a matter of
"I can haz this cool tech", but really, regular bridging with VLAN support,
custom MTUs and a bunch of other features (especially a very easy graphical setup) are
enough, I'd stick with oVirt native networking - it's pretty powerful in it's
own right.

Hello Dan,
Options mainly as would like to start using SFlow down the line for protocol analysis
across the VMs; plus GRE etc.
Thanks, P.

Why do you need OVS? oVirt supports VLANs out of the box without the extra hurdle

Would this be the way to integrate OVS

import OVS networks now ? Thank you.

Further to this if I wished to use oVirt do I need to completely wipe the CentOS7 server
or could I install the upcoming oVirt 3.5 directly over the top ? Thank you.

Good day all!
have been a KVM user/admin for the last few years and have configured all aspects using
either VirtManager or CLI where required.
am about to reinstall my development system and started to look at using CentOS7 as the
host, and to get a more recent version of KVM. After a little search around I came across
oVirt and am considering whether to install this now and use it as the main configuration
tool.
do have a couple of questions which hopefully somebody will be able to help with? at
present I am using OpenVSwitch with KVM so that I could use the vlan capabilities and wish
to ask whether will need to move away from that to a different solution ? On my host I
already have about 10 VMs that I wish to keep and whether I could migrate them into oVirt
? I have been using LVM volumes as raw storage for the VM images so presume would need to
convert them to a different format for use ?
one of my VMs actually acts as a storage provider, using Quantastor, which then presents
storage to other VMs using iSCSI which hope I can still use in oVirt ?
Apologies if these questions are a little vague but am trying to get my head around how it
would all work.
Thank you, Phil
