Hi,


ovirt has 2 types of systems:
- Hypervisor
- Engine


The ovirt Node is a kind of appliance that works as a Hypervisor. You can also use Linux host with the necessary repos and software.

The engine is a physical/virtual system that can contain the engine , which is the brain of the solution, and several databases (which can be moved away).

The most used case is a Hyperconverged setup (hosts should be multiple by 3) where :
- Gluster (a network distributed ) is running locally and provides shared storage
- oVirt vdsm (host software receiving commands from the engine) is taking care for engine
- Hosted Engine - a VM that is running on one of the hosts and will serve as an Engine

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
