My really question was : is it a good idea to run the oVirt node over another OS ? It would be more performant to run the oVirt node directly over the hardware, like ESXi... May be it is in the roadmap ?
VMware says esxi is a bare-metal hypervisor and there is not an underlying os. Someone else says it is based on vmkernel operating system ( where vmkernel is defined as a posix-like operating system). In my opinion the oVirt node is to be intended something like ESXi: an os with the smallest possible footprint, dedicated to run as a KVM hypervisor. The difference being that it is based on Linux and not developed from scratch. Gianluca
