Hi Rene,

Thanks for your reply. My hypervisor is kvm which is already running on Centos6. Now I understand the fact that I can't simply connect kvm with ovrit-engine rather I will need to import machines from kvm to ovirt-engine but my hypervisor will still be kvm ? Am I right ?

On a different node what is the role of vdsm ?

Thanks
Shantanu

Your hypervisor must be CentOS 6 or Fedora 18/19 in order to be able to
manage it with oVirt (other Linux distributions are still a wip).

As oVirt has a totally different concept as virt-manager you have to
import your machines into oVirt. As Markus already wrote this can be
done using virt-v2v.

René
