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?
Create an ISO storage domain and use
the ovirt-iso-uploader to add your
ISOs and .vfd files into that domain.
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?
Huh? You
could run the oVirt Manager from a VM managed by
virt-manager... yes. Running the oVirt manager inside a VM on a
hypervisor (ie. ovirt-node) controlled by that same manager isn't
supported AFAIK because the mgr. could get fenced.
To summarize, you can pretty much run the oVirt manager on any supported
OS as long as that OS instance isn't running on a hypervisor (ie.
ovirt-node) controlled by *that* manager.
If you haven't noticed the vocabulary to describe the various components
can get a little confusing. ;)
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

What you're saying is that I should just run it seperatly and
not manage it with itself (oVirt)? keep it on my shared
storage so that I can run it off any of the 2 servers? But not
manage it with oVirt (itself). I think I'm starting to get it
now...
I really appreciate your help!

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?
