Hi,
I want to install oVirt on a one-node-CentOS. So I found these two guides that I wanted to follow: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/**Installing_ovirt-engine_from_**rpm<http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt-engine_from_rpm> http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/**Installing_VDSM_from_rpm<http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm>
But then I got stuck on this step: # yum install -y ovirt-engine
The errors I received was some packages had to low version number, and some was missing.

Is there a way to install oVirt on CentOS 6.2 or RHEL 6.2? Has it been done with the latest stable release? Currently I have CentOS 6.2 installed with CentOS-Base, CentOS-Updates, CentOS-Extras and EPEL repositories installed. I would rather run CentOS than Fedora on this Virtualization Server since CentOS feels a bit more stable than Fedora.
Not today, ovirt requires some newer libs then available with Centos, I think your best bet is to stick with Fedora or if you need someting more hardened look at a commercial Red Hat Solution.
I was hoping to have something in the middle cause I have no budget. I'm going to use this server to host my own test virtual guests. Basically to build and test packages on different flavours of Linux.. I'm a bit stubborn, so I guess next step for me is to try to build these newer packages for EL6 and the missing ones a swell unless anyone has a better idea..
