Have logged in using cockpit but unable to create vms, is the behavior is like that? We can't use cockpit to create vms? Thanks, Nagaraju On Mon, Oct 12, 2020, 5:35 PM Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi
Is there a way to deploy vms on the ovirt node without using the oVirt engine?
Hi, if you mean: "Can I use oVirt Node for running VMs without using oVirt Engine?" then yes, you can.
oVirt Node is a CentOS Linux derivative and as such you can use virt-manager from your laptop to connect to it and manage VMs there as if it was a normal CentOS. You can also use cockpit for creating local VMs.
If you mean: "Can I create VMs from oVirt Node and also manage them from the engine?" the short answer is no. The long answer is: you can still try using cockpit-machines-ovirt https://cockpit-project.org/guide/172/feature-ovirtvirtualmachines.html which was deprecated in oVIrt 4.3 and removed in 4.4. Or run VMs on oVirt Node and try to make them visible to engine using KVM provider https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/#Adding_KVM_as_an_E... But I wouldn't recommend using these flows.
