Hi Jomathan,
I think it'll be easier to relate to specific performance areas, which usually come up
later in the process.
Try organizing your setup based on the following areas;
1. Network design
- What connect where , which networks will you have?
- Capacity planning
- Special considerations (VLANs, etc).
2. Storage design
- What connect where, and how: iscsi, nfs, FC, etc.
- Capacity planning
3. Management server
- Fedora?
- CPU
- RAM
- Networking
- Will it include other Apps?
4. Hosts
- Fedora or ovirt-nodes?
- CPU
- RAM
- Networking
- Capacity plan
- Fencing?
Based on the above it'll be easier to see if we can expect issues.

Well, one of my questions is: do I want my iscsi connections coming in over=
ovirtmgmt or over an isolated non-routable network/interfaces? My first i=
nclination is isolated non-routable.
Yay nay?
