Hi Thomas, Many people looking for oVirt/OLVM as a VMware alternative are facing many challenges and architecture differences. To reduce the hosted-engine blast-radius, deploying it in SHE model helps, also choosing a deployment architecture considering a DR scenario maybe the best approach. The oVirt community, and others can help elaborating your options.

I've recognized you are a big player in the Oracle Universe; we are currently migrating from Oracle VM Server to Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager. the target was to include also some other Servers from VMware Hypervisor. Potentially this is a showstopper in our strategy but we will see. thank you again Thomas Am Mo., 2.

All VM's interactions (start, stop, reboot, etc) are performed by the Engine application (ovirt-engine service).
