Hi all,
I am starting a small hosting business and want to use oVirt w/ KVM as my
virtualization platform.
I currently have 2 host servers and an iSCSI NAS.
Do I need a dedicated machine to run oVirt? Can I run it from a VM?
Can I use the all-in-one solution in a Production environment, with a 2nd
host? ... would I need to install oVirt on both hosts, in the event that
one of my servers went down?
I am trying to see how I can survive if my oVirt server fails. It would be
great if it ran from a VM but I can also see issues with doing that...
Another option would be to run oVirt on my workstation and have it connect
to my 2 host servers in colocation over the internet?
Please let me know how you've accomplished an oVirt setup with 2 servers.
Thank you!
Nic

either will work, but not easy right now to host the engine on its own
hypervisor.

the all-in-one is mostly intended for POC level, using local storage of
the host.
if you plan to use both hosts with local storage, you should be able to
use it, depending on strength of your hosts.

should work over WAN, but if you are hosting, wouldn't users need to
access the engine / your workstation?
Please let me know how you've accomplished an oVirt setup with 2 servers.

Of course you can install ovirt-engine on a VM.
Can I use the all-in-one solution in a Production environment, with a
2nd host? ... would I need to install oVirt on both hosts, in the

I do not recommend to use all-in-on solution in a Production
environment. You need to install ovirt-engine on one host(might be
your desktop) and install VDSM on the two host servers. ovirt-engine
doesn't support HA yet, so you need only one ovirt-engine.
I am trying to see how I can survive if my oVirt server fails. It
would be great if it ran from a VM but I can also see issues with
doing that...

For ovirt-engine
installation, 4G plus memory is recommended. So you
can start a VM with more than 4G memory and install ovirt-engine on
that, also make sure ovirt-engine can connect the two host servers over
the internet.
Please let me know how you've accomplished an oVirt setup with 2 servers.
Thank you!
