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_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.
