Hi,
=20
I will tell you my experience last week building and using oVirt. The
installation process is long but easy if you follow the instructions
(although I encountered some small problems). One oVirt is installed you =
can
access it through port 8080. For a production environment I would not
recommend using oVirt right now. It is still under development and some
important features are not yet available on the web interface, namely =
the
configuration options, the storage configuration and high availability.
Therefore, it will surely not fit your requirements now. But as a work =
in
progress I would recommend you to follow its development as sooner than
later it will be a polished and usable product. In the meantime, If =
money is
what concerns you, RHEL is free but after 60 days you won=92t have =
access to
support nor updates (which is not critical if the system is running =
behind a
firewall or is on an intranet which is not probably the case). If money =
is
not an issue, go for RHEL or Citrix XenServer. And If money is =
definitely
not an issue at all, I would go for vSphere from vmware as the best
available choice for a production environment.=20
=20
Also, other alternatives exist for servers virtualization like proxmox =
(the
2.0 beta is out) and eucalyptus (which will be release 3 soon).
=20
Don=92t hesitate to contact me If you have further questions on my =
experiences
will all that software,=20
=20
Regards,
=20
Jose.

I see you have instructions for building the ovirt manager up on the =
wiki.
My question is: How does this compare to what Red Hat is shipping in =
RHEL?
Is the code base currently the same as what Red Hat is shipping? I am
evaluating ovirt for possible deployment in a university setting and
wondering if it would be better to pursue a RHEL subscription for our
cluster. Any light you could shed on this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Gary
