Hello All, I just joined the list and I can't wait to get " acquainted" with Ovirt I have about 150 people for who I have to provide a workstation, Internet access and accounts, and solve all their problems. About 40 work on laptops, the others use disk-less thin clients and ltsp. I hope to replace the ltps-part with Ovirt and Spice. The users are dispersed over some 15 locations. The entire setup runs on Centos. So far I've been looking at the Quick Start Guide, and got as far as setting up nfs. One thing would help a lot in this testing fase: I've set up the Ovirt-engine in Virtualbox. Is it also possible to configure and attach a ( Centos) host in Virtualbox? Greetings, J.

Engine should not care how it is run (on a vm, bare metal, etc). If a host is accessible, you can add it. Nir

I suggest you to evaluate hosted-engine deployment where the oVirt engine runs on VM hosted by one of the host that is managing with HA capabilities and so on. hosted-engine-setup will create it for you.
Hello, thanks for the replies. I will now test further in Virtualbox, I hope to get as far as to actually create a vm. Next I will try to test the hosted-engine deployment. Greetings, J. 2015-10-20 10:49 GMT+02:00 Simone Tiraboschi <stirabos@redhat.com>:

Hello, I played around with setting in Virtualbox but I did not succeed in attaching a Centos host that runs in Virtualbox. EM in /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/*.log : File "/tmp/ovirt-Fm6ToenoKS/otopi-plugins/ovirt-host-deploy/vdsm/hardware.py", line 68, in _validate_virtualization _('Hardware does not support virtualization') Could be because I have an older laptop.

Never tried that with virtualbox, but it does work with nested kvm. So either it's really a too-old cpu, or you need to find out how to enable nested virt - in your BIOS, OS or virtualbox. Best,

Best,
Hi, I successfully used VirtualBox in the past to test for example Oracle RAC inside a virtualized environment, but unfortunately Nested Virtualization seems an "ancient" request on VirtualBox issue tracker but not satisfied yet: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4032
