[Users] ovirt-engine 32bit

Hello, I want to ask why is the ovirt-engine only available on 64bit platform in the repo? I successfully run the jboss from the repo and one compiled on a 32bit machine. For me it seems that this is a limitation: for small deployments, the engine can be setup on an already running machine. And that machine can be quite old, but it will cope with the engine very well. Best regards, Cristian Falcas

I don't recall any specific reason to require a 64bit machine for the engine. The 64bit is needed for the hypervisor thus for supporting the single node use case (management + hypervisor on same machine). Livnat

So could it be moved to noarch and let vdsm on x64? Should I open a bug? Best regards,
