Basically there should be no problem to install RHEVM on virtual machine so it should work ok. Also there is no difference between migrating existing RHEVM that runs on physical machine or on virtual machine. You need to backup your existing DB and restore it on engine vm. See the following wiki page for detailed explanation: http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine Thanks, Leonid. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sven Kieske" <S.Kieske@mittwald.de> To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Monday, January 6, 2014 12:47:23 PM Subject: [Users] virtualized engine / port to self-hosted engine Hi, I'm currently planning to setup a libvirt-vm to use as ovirt-engine. OS in the vm would be EL 6.5 Does anybody have any experience with such a setup? I'd also like to know if such a setup could be easily ported to the upcoming self-hosted engine feature or if a physical setup could get ported better? Thanks for any input! -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.
