I'm trying to find the stable / current oVirt-live ISO to download.
According to the official documentation, it looks like there is only the =
legacy 4.1 ISO, or nightly / unstable builds of 4.2(.2?)?

Alternatively, if one is to deploy the 'self-hosted-engine' on top of =
CentOS 7.4, the documentation doesn't make it clear what you should vs =
shouldn't setup on the host prior to deploying the hosted engine.
For example, some big questions pop up around networking, e.g.:
- Should I be setting those up during CentOS's install using the =
installer (which I believe configures them with Network Manager), or =
should I be setting up the ifcfg files manually by hand without touching =
Network Manager via the server's remote console after the install has =
finished?
- Is it OK for me to setup my first two NICs in a mode 1 (A/P) or 4 =
(XOR) bond (these are connected to a 'dumb' switch and provide internet =
access and later will be used for management activities such as vm =
migrations).
- Is it OK for me to setup my second two NICs in a LACP bond (required =
as they connect to our core switches) and to add VLANs on top of that =
bond, include the storage VLAN required for iSCSI access which is later =
required to host the hosted-engine?

I think the hardest thing is that the documentation for oVirt seems very =
poorly maintained, or it's at least scattered around various links or =
different guides.
Perhaps this isn't obvious to people that are already familiar with the =
components, terminology and setup practises of oVirt / RHEV, but for =
someone like me coming from XenServer - it's confusing as anything.
