I would either:
(a) put "Virt" as the default, or
(b) remove this question entirely - if someone is installing oVirt,
assume they want to manage virt. If someone is installing Gluster,
have
an option during the Gluster install to have the oVirt management
console.
If someone wants to manage both their Gluster bricks and their virt
with
oVirt, I would make that a post-install option to oVirt - perhaps
with
an extra package to install (which would depend on the later version
of
Gluster).
Cheers,
Dave.
