Re: [Users] Can oVirt be installed in a virtual machine?
Hi Alan,
I have oVirt running in a VM off my Desktop (Fedora 17 w/ KVM &
Virt-Manager) off my iSCSI NAS.
I've attached Server #1 as my first host (it's running ovirt-node).
In the process of setting up my storage domains. I have a few questions to
the experts out there:
1) How do I add my CD .ISOs to setup new VMs? Create iSCSI storage domain?
But then how do I copy my ISOs to it?
2) Can I run my oVirt VM from ovirt-node machine, without running it in
oVirt (ie. setup iSCSI in virt-manager (as it is now) and run oVirt from
virt-manager... then I can manage my hosts through that ovirt VM?
Not sure if I'm making myself clear... but I'm making progress. I think as
long as you are not managing your oVirt vm through oVirt itself, the
solution should work fine! Just trying to see if I can get that done on an
ovirt-node machine...
Thank you,
Nic

Nic, how did you make out with this? I'm looking to do the same thing and
am wondering if there is any risk in running the engine on a VM managed by
the same engine, as you were suggesting before. Did you give this a shot?
Itamar, why did you steer Nic away from this?
