Hi everyone, I have been playing with latest OVirt the last little =
while. I go back with RHEV since the early days when it was in BETA and =
I was running it in production :} It has certainly come a long, long =
way...
I see lots of upgrade testing / new feature discussion going on here, I =
wanted to share it with the community to take advantage of and ideally =
make it even better.
I plan to integrate this setup with Openstack and add IDM and other =
features as soon as possible.
If you want to try it out, you don=E2=80=99t need real hardware and =
still get all the functionally of KVM.
I used Ravello Systems to build it - https://ravellosystems.com - You =
can utilize the free trial for 2 weeks.
You can find the blueprint here -> =
https://www.ravellosystems.com/repo/blueprints/64554219
Thanks for helping with the original issues I ran into getting it all =
working properly.

Here is the description:
A perfect nested lab environment to learn (test upgrades / new features) =
on OVirt (RHEV) and ManageIQ (Cloudforms)=20
I have been testing openstack blueprints from the Ravello REPO quite a =
bit and saw no-one had build an OVirt setup.
It's been a while since I used OVirt / RHEV (I had been using it since =
back in the day when when it was BETA!)
I already had an ESXi setup working with ManageIQ / Cloudforms so I =
figured why not add OVirt / RHEV as well... Openstack will be next...
Here is a blueprint (built on Fedora22) that includes an 2 node OVirt =
cluster - OVirt Engine Version: 3.5.4.2-1.fc20 (Upstream Redhat =
Enterprise Virtualization - RHEV)
It also includes a ManageIQ (Upstream Cloudforms) instance to manage / =
orchestrate the OVirt environment.
Also a Fedora 22 Desktop to use as local management / jumpbox to your =
environment.
1 OVirt Manager - oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.4.2-1.fc20
2 OVirt KVM Hypervisors
1 Ovirt hypervisor template (used to add more nodes to your cluster)
1 FreeNAS appliance to offer up shared NFS storage for the cluster
1 ManageIQ appliance
1 Fedora 22 Desktop (Configured with VNC access)
http://www.ovirt.org/Home <http://www.ovirt.org/Home>
http://manageiq.org/ <http://manageiq.org/>
http://www.freenas.org/ <http://www.freenas.org/>
Give the services and webui a few minutes to start up after booting.
You will find id/password information in the description of each virtual =
machine in the Ravello UI. Some vm's required a sshkey.
If you want build you own hypervisor nodes - see some additional steps =
below (this has already been done on the template I provided).
There=E2=80=99s 2 small issues that you need to work around:
Due to an issue with the the user-mode CPU detection in libvirt, this =
patch needs to be applied to /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml. This patch =
forces the CPU type to be an Opteron G2 independent of the CPUID. To =
apply this patch, log on to the hypervisor in rescue mode, apply the =
patch, and then issue the command =E2=80=9Cpersist =
/usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml=E2=80=9D. This needs to be done after =
step 8 above.

Here is a good blog that details a similar setup for RHEV.
