[Users] From rhcs qemu to oVirt: suggestions?

Hello, I currently have in place a CentOS 6.3 based rhcs cluster composed by threee nodes. There are several VMs configured as services in RHCS. I would like to migrate and test oVirt and get some suggestions. I originally planned to converto to F17 based oVirt 3.1 nodes, but now I see that there are builds for CentOS 6.3 too. So what are your suggestions? Can I post bugzillas and ask questions if I try CentOS 6 instead of F17? Is this repo generally kept in sync with F17 based one? I would like then to setup a sort of "production ready" infra for a small non profit organization. Another question: what would be the best workflow to migrate these Qemu/KVM virtual machines I have to an oVirt based infra? Can I export in some OVF way and then import in oVirt? I see that irt-v2v in my CentOS 6 has libvirt and rhev as export methods. I don't know if rhev is suitable for oVirt too... Currently my installed versions on CentOS 6.3 systems are: virt-v2v-0.8.7-7.el6_3.x86_64 gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch libvirt-python-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64 qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64 seabios-0.6.1.2-19.el6.x86_64 sgabios-bin-0-0.3.20110621svn.el6.noarch vgabios-0.6b-3.6.el6.noarch Thanks in advance, Gianluca

you can, but since the .el6 rpms are maintained outside of the ovirt site/process, we don't always know if a patch is in a specific version, etc.
Is this repo generally kept in sync with F17 based one?
that's a question for its maintainer (actually, i think it contains more backports than the f17 one)

as rhev is the downstream of ovirt, usually they are close enough.
