3.5 or 3.6 For Production System?
Hi Folks, I'm setting up a small virtualization system that will start with one or two hosts and then probably grow to 4-5 hosts. We will eventually be using a shared iSCSI datastore, but right now I'll probably just use NFS4. I'm wondering if I should stick with my plan of using oVirt 3.6.2, or should I start of with 3.5 and upgrade at a later date. Is 3.6 generally stable enough for production use? We're not doing anything very complicated, just running a few Linux webserver VMs. No high availability or auto-deployment type stuff.

By all means, use oVirt 3.6. It works great and is recommended for production use. I highly recommend you deploy it on RHEL/CentOS 7.2, for best results. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

+2 to both points: - There are no plans to fix issues in 3.5.x - only in 3.6.x releases - 7.2 hosts are preferred as some features are only available there. Y.

Charles, If you like thin provisioning, I'd not recommend to move NFS->iSCSI. Thin provisioned disks become Preallocated during migration from a file to block storage.
