Hi,
I'm building a homeserver to run ovirt and wanted to get opinions on the
best approach.
The server will be used as a test/studybed for
ovirt/kvm/vcloud/openstack/ceph.
The server will be based around a Xeon E5 10 core with 128GB ram.
Option 1:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy ovirt directly on top.
Option 2:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy multiple ovirt instances on top of
KVM.
Which will be the most stable versatile method?
If a GPU is used as a passthrough device can it be used on several vm's or
is it restricted to 1 vm?
If 2 GPU's are used can 1 be used as a dedicated passthrough to 1 vm and
the other shared between the remaining vm's?
Is CentOS/RH the best platform for ovirt?
Is it okay/advisable to load the latest kernel, (4.8 ish), on to CentOS
before installing ovirt?
Any and all comments/advice welcome,
David

Hi,
I'm building a homeserver to run ovirt and wanted to get opinions on the
best approach.
The server will be used as a test/studybed for
ovirt/kvm/vcloud/openstack/ceph.
The server will be based around a Xeon E5 10 core with 128GB ram.
Option 1:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy ovirt directly on top.
Option 2:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy multiple ovirt instances on top
of KVM.
Which will be the most stable versatile method?
If a GPU is used as a passthrough device can it be used on several vm's
or is it restricted to 1 vm?
If 2 GPU's are used can 1 be used as a dedicated passthrough to 1 vm and
the other shared between the remaining vm's?
Is CentOS/RH the best platform for ovirt?
Is it okay/advisable to load the latest kernel, (4.8 ish), on to CentOS
before installing ovirt?
Any and all comments/advice welcome,
David

No one found it worth to mention Lago?
Only for test, but you mentionned this use case, so consider reading
about Lago.

Perfect if you have/expect multiple machines. How do you expect to
handle storage?

Perfect for single machine setup.

Single card for single VM meaning 1:1 mapping only for now.
If 2 GPU's are used can 1 be used as a dedicated passthrough to 1
vm and
the other shared between the remaining vm's?
As stated above, no. Most typical home lab setup uses 2 GPUs, one for
hypervisor and other one to be assigned to a VM.
Is CentOS/RH the best platform for ovirt?
For playing around and general usage, yes (in my opinion :) ).
Is it okay/advisable to load the latest kernel, (4.8 ish), on to
CentOS
before installing ovirt?
I wouldn't really do that, you'd have to bump up version of KVM,
possibly QEMU and libvirt -- in the end you'd end up running fedora.
