Hi,

I'm just doing some research into oVirt, and I have this question:

Can I add a running (live VM's) oVirt node into the oVirt Engine? In Vsphere I can do this (have an independent ESXi host with running VM's, and add it into vCenter to manage).

Some examples where you want this:

My oVirt engine is screwed up and I want to install a fresh Engine without any VM downtime.
I want to move an oVirt host and all it's VM's from one engine to another.

One other question, let's say my oVirt engine is down/messed up, but I really need to manage a VM (power on/off), can I log directly into the oVirt host and interact directly with KVM to start/stop the VM, without messing anything up when the Engine is working again? Again, something I can do in Vsphere.

Thanks,

Logan
