I want to test oVirt with real hardware, no more nested VMs.
3 hosts, each vm will be Fedora (maybe CentOS, I prefer Fedora)

Please note Fedora support within oVirt project is a best-effort task.
There's no testing of oVirt on Fedora done by the core development team.
That said, I would be happy if you contribute fedora testing :-)

I'm not sure to understand what you're looking into now since you talk about real hardware and VMs in the same sentence.
Suggested minimal deployment is 3 real hardware hosts as hypervisor nodes and hosted engine with hyperconverged deployment.
You can use oVirt Node iso in order to do the whole deployment using cockpit.

 
What is the install process?

Sandro,
If & when one decides to "graduate" & use real hardware, what is the
install process?

The install process depends on how you want to design your lab .
You can have a small deployment with just 3 hosts in hyperconverged
setup or a large datacenter with 200 hypervisors and one or more
dedicated SAN for the storage.
If you go with an hyperconverged setup, you can install oVirt Node on
3 hosts and then on one of them use cockpit to deploy gluster and
hosted engine on top of it in hyperconverged mode.

You can find an installation guide here:
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/install-guide/Installation_Guide/

Is the gluster part still automated or that has to be done manually?

If you go with hyperconverged mode it's now automated. You can find
more info here:
http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/gluster/gdeploy-cockpit-integration/
Sahina, please ensure above link is updated. I see it shows the
feature still in WIP while it's been released.

Another question, what type of use cases & jobs is oVirt being
deployed in & how are people getting tech support?

About use cases for oVirt you can find some examples here:
http://www.ovirt.org/community/user-stories/users-and-providers/
If you want dedicated support, I would recommend to get a Red Hat
Virtualization (which is oVirt with technical support and some
additions) subscription getting Red Hat support.
Another place to get support if you stay with oVirt is the community:
this mailing list, the IRC channel and social media, have a look here
for other contacts: http://www.ovirt.org/community/

I assume people are using oVirt in production?

Sure, I was just wondering why you were running in nested
virtualization :-)
Being your use case a "playground" environment, I can suggest you to
have a look at Lago http://lago.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ [1]
and at Lago demo at https://github.com/lago-project/lago-demo [2]
to help you preparing an isolated test environment for your
learning.

I have one CentOS7 host (physical) & 3x oVirt nodes 4.1.2 (these are
vm's).

Hi, can you please share the use case for this setup?

I have installed vdsm-hook-nestedvm on the host.

Should I install vdsm-hook-macspoof on the 3x node vm's?
