How to replace vMware infrastructure with oVirt

Hi, I have two Esxi hosts managed by VMware vCenter Server. I want to create a similar infrastructure with oVirt. I know that oVirt is similar to VMware vCenter Server but not sure what to replace the Esxi hosts with in oVirt Environment. I am looking to build oVirt with Self-Hosted Engine.It would be great help if someone could help me to build this.

Either EL hosts or oVirt nodes: https://ovirt.org/download/#download-ovirt-node-or-setup-hosts Also: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/vmm-guide/chap-Administrative_Tasks.html... Let us know if you have further questions. Best wishes, Greg

I migrated from the old vmware-server to oVirt a few years ago. I exported my VMs as OVA and then imported them into oVirt. Some of them imported immediately, some took several hours. But this was all with oVirt 4.0 and older versions of virt-v2v, so some of my issues may have been fixed. I would recommend you build a new oVirt infra first, migrate your VMs, and then, if you want, you can repurpose your existing hardware for additional nodes. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
