Re: [ovirt-users] New installation

Hi Folks, I just got the go ahead to install oVirt to use as a lab. The servers are: 1xdl360 4x30010k in raid 10 for OS (Manager) should this be clustered with another server for resiliency 5xdl380 2x30010k for OS 6x1TB7.2k RAID5 on each for a data store It will all be behind a proxy and be connected with 1GB links, (2x4 bonds) My plan is to have 1 manager as this is a lab scenario and not production, (yet), or is it better to have a cluster. Is it ok to have a data store on each host, (they won't let me have dedicated storage yet)? Is it wise to share these data_stores between hosts or should 1 store be dedicated to each host individually? There is no need for performance, basically as long as it runs it will work. The final intention is to have templates for OpenStack and CEPH plus lots of Linux examples set up with SDN etc. We have a 90% Windows shop but it is all rapidly changing to OpenStack et al and I want to try and give people the opportunity to use Linux in the lab before they are let lose in production. Plus it gives me the chance to show management exactly what ovirt can do. Any help, advice or links would be greatly appreciated, BR/David _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
