No well we saw that only CPU’s are supported.

So we want to find out what hardware we need in order to progress.

Servers with the needed CPU architecture. 

Not sure what you’re looking for. A developer kind of answer - you got that already. If you want anything better I suggest you talk to a vendor who sells oVirt for a living and help you with the right architecture fitting your needs. 
List of certified Intel CPUs for RHEL (and hence CentOS) is here [1] and here[2]. We also support IBM POWER8 and POWER9, and if you wanna start something really big, IBM zSystem mainframes as a tech preview;-)

Thanks,

Hi There

I need some help regarding what hardware we can use to get this up and going as your website indicates only certain cpu’s can be used.

hey
where exactly? For running ovirt we support exact same hardware as RHEL/CentOS does


Kind Regards

Are those CPU’s dedicated for the Hypervisors? 

again not sure what you mean. but usually the entire host is dedicated for virtualization


What are the minimal requirements to setting up a cluster?

depends what you want it to do. the general a meaningful scale is from cca three hosts up to several hundreds.


We are looking into using Ovirt over the likes on Hyper-v and VMWare.

Can you give me a run down?

Kind Regards

I think the right place for this question is the ovirt users mailing list. Added.

Hi All

We are looking into setting up a highly scalable and HA Ovirt infrastructure but I see only some CPU's are supported. Is this only for th Hypervisors or for the entire cluster?

Not sure what difference you have in mind. In general those are for guest CPUs, in general KVM capabilities are a bit behind the real hardware and gets added to oVirt as we add the relevant qemu-kvm having them, e.g. right now the “best” x86_64 Intel CPU is Skylake-Server and you can run it on any RHEL/CentOS 7.6 supported hw capable of at least that, e.g. any Cascade Lake.
