HI Does oVirt supports Mac OS ? if so which option do I need to select under "operating system " . Thanks, Nagaraju
As far as I am aware, the OS X EULA requires installation to be on Apple branded hardware. So unless you're oVirt Host is running on Apple hardware you'd be breaking the EULA of OS X. This is likely why it isn't part of the OS option list in oVirt. On 16 November 2015 at 04:56, Budur Nagaraju <nbudoor@gmail.com> wrote:

Yea, but this between the user and Apple, oVirt does not care what do you run on your vms.

I don't think this option matter. oVirt supports anything that qemu and kvm support. Quick search suggests that it works: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ Some features require guest agent, which is probably not available for OS X, but I guess it is possible to port the ovirt-guest-agent to OS X.

Some things might work out of the box others will probably need fixing, the guest agent wasn't ported yet to any *BSD either. However the biggest problem for the port will be the VirtIO support without that, there won't be a guest agent for OSX.
