Hello, If I understand well, the ISO node is the best solution to have the "smallest" OS, but maybe I will have problems with some functions, like SSH keys, integration with Centreon, etc... Daniel Helgenberger said : "all changes you make manually do not survive a reboot". So, the best option is to install a basic OS (for me, a Debian one), and then, to add oVirt-node packages... Now, let's go ;-) Thank you. David. Le Thu, 7 Aug 2014 13:12:11 -0400, Paul Robert Marino <prmarino1@gmail.com> a écrit :
By the way David have you ever done a Red Hat kickstart with the nobase option. You get an OS install thats as stripped down as possible. you can even create a node for ovirt which is smaller than the ESXi install base last I checked. just be aware you will not have many of the tools you would normally expect to see for example bind-utils isn't installed so the box wont have nslookup or dig unless you install it.

Ah, great !!! And is there a Debian flavor ?
No. Currently not. But Node became more stable over the last months, and you might want to try this snapshot build: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5-pre/iso/ovirt-node-iso-3.5.0.ovirt3...
It is my favorite distribution ;-)
Not yet, and I don't know if it is on the roadmap. you could maybe create your own, it's basically this workflow: install $distro throw out all unneeded stuff install virt stuff (libvirt+vdsm) apply hardening (selinux etc) create iso
I go with centos minimal and customize that myself, works really well.
I don't know if vdsm is already complete platform independent (afaik it should be).
the initial development was all on fedora and el6, so this is where it runs best atm.
but I know for sure there are plans to make it distribution agnostic, but I don't know if this includes a pre-created iso for ovirt-node based on debian or gentoo.
maybe fabian can shed some light on the future plans.
The current Node can really only be created for Fedora related distrios, so CentOS, RHEL and Fedora itself. The reason for this is that all parts "the build process" is tailored around Fedora related tools. Namely kickstarts, and lviecd-tools.
We are currently thinking about how we can change Node and make it more friendly, the distro agnostic idea also goes into this thoughts - but there is nothing concrete on that front yet.
That's it from the Node side.

Thank you for all these answers.
I'm going to test this soon and I'll tell you about the results...
