Hi All,

I've done a lot of reading and lots of comparison of different hypervisors and tools and have decided that oVirt would be the best option. My initial use case is a not too new server that I will setup to run multiple development environments for the devs here, but I wanted something that will scale out to production as the vm infrastructure, hardware, etc. grows here.

I'll soon have a second server to run my vm's on and want to setup a self-hosted engine. I'm trying to find the most recent version of a how-to on the same. I found a presentation showing off how much easier it is to do this in oVirt 3.6 but can't find the correct docs. I seem to always end up with 3.5 or older versions. Can someone point me at a how-to of how to best achieve this.

Also, while I have you all here... :-)
Is it possible to setup the hypervisor hosts themselves as NFS servers to create Storage (I realize that this will play havoc with the HA). We do have an NFS server that we will be upgrading to add storage and faster drives, but I was thinking that I may be able to use the internal storage of the hypervisors themselves as a short term stopgap and then migrate vm's to the upgraded NFS server later. Will that even work, or will it break somehow?

What you are asking for is generally called hyper-convergence. We tried to have it for 3.6 with glusterfs on each node but it wasn't valuated stable enough to be released. We are still working on that for the next release.

Any advice for a new install would be welcome.

Thank you

Cheers,
Gervais
