[Users] Using oVirt in mini datacenter

Hi Guyz, I have a requirement to compare vCenter features with oVirt in data center usage. I have a done a deep comparison of features and oVirt seems to be a good opensource alternative for Vmware. Can some one provide a lab requirement for setting up a mini oVirt setup. Does it require a dedicated DHCP and DNS server? My Requirement: To setup a mini datacenter using oVirt for demo purpose and feature comoparison with Vmware. I need HA , load balancing an fault tolerance. I also need to setup authetication with our current corp email address which is based on AD. This is what i was able to figure out. 1. At least three physical servers . 2. One shared storage among the 3 servers [for live migration] 3. A DHCP server running on Linux [OR can i use my existing DHCP server which is running in Windows] 4. A DNS server [Or can i use an existing DNS server] What else is required.. Please help... Regards, Novel

Hi, you should be able to use your existing DHCP and DNS servers as long as your new machines are registered correctly in DNS and DHCP. (I did not test this myself with windows, so ymmv.) Am 13.01.2014 09:30, schrieb Novel Kumar:
