Hello all, I was just wondering what your opinions would be in setting up a new oVirt enviroment. I have 4 old servers, 3 with 64 Gigs of ram and 2 tera's of disk space an one with 32 Gigs of ram and 1,2 Gb. Each has 2 hexcore cpu's. Each server has at least 2 nic's. I would like to use each server in a seperate cluster with there own local storage as this would all only be used as a test enviroment but still would like to manage them from one interface. Deploy new vm's from templates etc. Can I still use the all in one installation for engine and node ? Or can I install the engine on a seperate host, physical or virtual. What would be a good way to use the network ? Any advice would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

But Fernando's suggestion also= makes sense. Can I maybe install the host on 3 servers for high availability and run loca= l storage for the vm's ? But i only have 1 node available at the moment. As soon as I install a first= one I can migrate the vm's already running on the other hosts to this new o= Virt host.=20 How can I install 1 node with a hosted engine on glusterfs or ??? and use lo= cal storage for my vm's. Later as the other host become available I will add= them acordingly. What would be a good network setup as I only have 2 nic's per host. Or shoul= d I invest in addidional nic's Kind regards Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

Hello, If you have 3 x 2TB disks, one on each server, why not use a Distributed Storage and have redundancy ? Fernando Em 21/06/2016 02:32, Andy Michielsen escreveu:

Hello Fernando, I would like to run as much of windows vm's as I can. I would like to run 30 or more with each 6 Gb of ram and 100Gb of storage. And I need a DEV, QUA and PRD enviroment. So I would like to keep as much as disk spacecas posible. Kind regards Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

Then you still have this option and spreading the VMs across 3 hosts I believe you will have the same space to handle things plus the redundancy a cluster gives. If you don't want to waste any disk space you may still use Distributed storage but with no redundancy (Striped Volumes). The downside is that you cannot turn off any of the servers without turning off all VMs. Or maybe if you can compromise on it you can have a middle term which is Disperse Volumes.
