Hi all,
There is any reason to choose to install a CentOS 6/7 and add it to oVirt
Manager instead of an oVirt Node ? It's just for managability or there is
other technical reasons ?
oVirt Node is a 'ready to go' option, as soon you complete the
installation it will have all packages needed for the hypervisor in a
read-only OS (focused in oVirt), using less space possible. It also
contain the Text User Interface (TUI) that helps administrators to do
management tasks, like initial network, hosted-engine, etc. On the other
hand, adding CentOS/Fedora and others distros as hypervisor via Engine
will automatically download the packages needed. In this case,
configuring hosted-engine and others management options will obviously
without the TUI.
To upgrade the ovirt-node as read-only distro, you can:
- boot the new iso into the system
- Download and install the new ovirt-node RPM into engine and trigger
the upgrade via engine.
We provide nightly builds for testing:

Fell free to reach us with your experience using the oVirt Node.
