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.

Hello,
If you have 3 x 2TB disks, one on each server, why not use a Distributed
Storage and have redundancy ?

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

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.

Hello,
This is the setup I was thinking about doing. 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

Hi Andy,

You can manage them from one web interface. Just deploy one hosted-engine V=
M on
one of them. Add others servers to the default cluster and then switch t=
hem to use local storage (Configure Local Storage). After that each nodes wi=
ll move to separate cluster, and you can manage all off them from one web in=
terface.
I hope it will be helpful

Hi Andy,<br>
<br>
You can manage them from one web interface. Just deploy one
hosted-engine VM on one of them. Add others servers to the default
cluster and then switch them to use local storage (Configure Local
Storage). After that each nodes will move to separate cluster, and
you can manage all off them from one web interface.<br>
I hope it will be helpful<br>
