Hello, I want to run oVirt Node as vm to learn a little bit about ovirt. But I'm facing some problems. I understand that oVirt Node maybe needs to see the vmx feature from the cpu so that kvm will work. But I can't get the oVirt Node ISO booting at all. I tried it in VirtualBox ... since it doesn't support nested virtualization I understand why it doesn't boot ... perhaps. But I tried it also on ESX and in the configuration i said that the virtualization features of the CPU should be passed through. If I boot a Live CD with that configuration see with cat /proc/cpuinfo that vmx is available. When I boot the oVirt Node ISO it just hangs after the 30 seconds count down ...I just see the background from the boot menu and it hangs the forever. Anybody else facing the same problem. Or is it just not possible to run oVirt Node as VM? Thanks for your replies.

Hello John, thanks for your hint. Just for understanding, step by step installation means basically a minimal redhat / centos install and then adding the ovirt repo and run >>yum install vdsm vdsm-cli<< like described here: http://www.ovirt.org/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm or?
