      I have oVirt running in a VM off my Desktop (Fedora 17 w/ KVM
      &amp; Virt-Manager) off my iSCSI NAS. <br>
      <br>
      I&#39;ve attached Server #1 as my first host (it&#39;s running
      ovirt-node).<br>
      <br>
      In the process of setting up my storage domains. I have a few
      questions to the experts out there:<br>
      <br>
      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?<br>
    </blockquote></div>
    Create an ISO storage domain and use the ovirt-iso-uploader to add
    your ISOs and .vfd files into that domain.<div class="im"><br>
    <blockquote type="cite"><br>
      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?<br>
    </blockquote></div>
    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&#39;t
    supported AFAIK because the mgr. could get fenced.  <br>
    <br>
    To summarize, you can pretty much run the oVirt manager on any
    supported OS as long as that OS instance isn&#39;t running on a
    hypervisor (ie. ovirt-node) controlled by *that* manager.<br>
    <br>
    If you haven&#39;t noticed the vocabulary to describe the various
    components can get a little confusing. ;)  <br>

      Not sure if I&#39;m making myself clear... but I&#39;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...<br>

                <div>What you&#39;re saying is that I should just run it

                  of the 2 servers? But not manage it with oVirt

            <div>Nic, how did you make out with this?  I&#39;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?</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Itamar, why did you steer Nic away from this?</div>
