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. -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo@redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

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:

yum install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/cockpit-machi... should give you the cockpit plugin for running VMs. Just be aware this is not a use case that involves oVirt bits, this is basically CentOS workflow.

Hi Sandro, Have not installed a hosted engine nor have installed an ovirt engine , have just installed an ovirt node in one of the bare metal servers and logged into the server using a cockpit. When I browse to ovirt virtual machine "create New vm' is greyed out, is ovirt node dependent on the ovirt engine ?

What is the longevity status of cockpit-machines-ovirt ? I understand it was removed from automatically being in node, due to perceived redundancy. But is the software package itself going away and/or not going to be usable in the future? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandro Bonazzola" <sbonazzo@redhat.com> To: "Budur Nagaraju" <nbudoor@gmail.com> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Monday, October 12, 2020 5:05:01 AM Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: oVirt-node Il giorno lun 12 ott 2020 alle ore 12:36 Budur Nagaraju < [ mailto:nbudoor@gmail.com | nbudoor@gmail.com ] > ha scritto: Hi Is there a way to deploy vms on the ovirt node without using the oVirt engine?

Hi Badur, theoretically it's possible as oVirt is just a management layer. You can use 'virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf' as an alias of virsh and then you will be able to "virsh define yourVM.xml" & "virsh start yourVM". Also it's suitable to start a VM during Engine's downtime.
