Didi,
[snip]
Thank you for all the details (which I cut from the reply). It's all
useful information, and as you noticed, I've not had to install the engine
in a while. Moreover....
And, BTW, the appliance is not like ovirt-node - once you install it,
it's
just a plain normal CentOS machine - you upgrade stuff using 'dnf update'
and 'engine-setup', etc.
*THIS* truly answers my underlying question(s). I was concerned that the
engine would be like the node, but this assures me it is not, it's just a
"faster" way to build the engine VM, but it turns into (effectively) a
standard CentOS+Engine VM post-install... Which SHOULD be good enough for
what I want to do! (I have the engine running a few extra services, and
wanted to make sure I could continue to do so).
FWIW, I have a few extra services running on my host, too, but I think I
would change that if I ever added additional hardware (currently running
single-host).
Thank you again for humoring me and answering my questions, even the ones
I didn't explicitly ask!
Best regards,
-derek
