Hi Thomas,

Many people looking for oVirt/OLVM as a VMware alternative are facing many challenges and architecture differences.

To reduce the hosted-engine blast-radius, deploying it in SHE model helps, also choosing a deployment architecture considering a DR scenario maybe the best approach.

The oVirt community, and others can help elaborating your options.

Hi Marcos,

thank you so much for your feedback and clarification.

I've recognized you are a big player in the Oracle Universe; we are currently migrating from Oracle VM Server to Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager.
the target was to include also some other Servers from VMware Hypervisor.

Potentially this is a showstopper in our strategy but we will see.

thank you again 

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

No, it is not possible. All VM's interactions (start, stop, reboot, etc) are performed by the Engine application (ovirt-engine service).

Hello,

Is there a way to start a VM directly from the KVM host if the oVirt Engine is down or temporarily unavailable due to network issues or other reasons?

thanks for any advice.
