Hey, Just a quick update on this. The machine is really quiet and cool, and most importantly, oVirt works perfectly on it. Thanks again for all the input! iordan On Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 12:03 PM, i iordanov <iiordanov@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Francesco,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I already ordered the parts taking a small risk. Yes, this system promises to be so cool and quiet, that I can practically use it as a pillow :).
Cheers! iordan

Hi Doron,
I haven't purchased the Kabini-based system. I hoping that I would be able to learn in advance whether an all-in-one installation of oVirt would work on it. Unfortunately, returning it would be a hassle and I would not get a full refund for it. If there is no way to discover in advance whether oVirt will work on the system, I can take a risk. Is an all-in-one oVirt installation known to work on any of the modern AMD offerings?
Thanks! iordan
Hi everyone,
I'm playing with a new AMD Kabini host, to see how it behaves as very low-cost[1], low-consumption hypervisor host[2]. I'm still installing the node, so I don't have actual data yet.
According to libvirt, the host present itself as Opteron_G3.
Plese find attached the output from virsh (1.2.5) capabilities (caps.txt) lscpu (lscpu.txt) lspci (lspci.txt)

[1] You can get a CPU + mainboard with ~85 EURO or even less, and it will consume 25W fully loaded, much less when idle. The fan is close to inaudible. [2] I'll put together a document/wiki page with my findings and experience afterwards.
