Awesome.
Dave can you have someone edit the installation page and specifically
mention that EL hypervisors don't have native Gluster (fuse only) support -
It would be very frustrating to think you can have all the features, and OS
stability as well, only to find out EL doesn't support a key feature.
I've seen lots of requests on the board for a back-port so this might
preempt more questions / problems.

centos/rhel 6.4 don't have qemu/libvirt packages supporting this.
these are expected with 6.5.
we are trying to find a solution prior to 6.5 to resolve this.
- Zhou Zheng Sheng graciously created guest agent packages for ubuntu
and debian[1]
- heads up that we're planning a bit larger 3.3.1 which will rebase and
pass some more testing. then more frequent 3.3.x updates for issues
found.
- jason brooks blogged on "Testing oVirt 3.3 with Nested KVM" and "Up
and Running with oVirt 3.3"
http://community.redhat.com/testing-ovirt-3-3-with-nested-kvmhttp://community.redhat.com/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-3/

Hey,
oVirt Node 3.0.1 has been released [0] and can be downloaded [1].
3.0.1 is the first bug fix release after the major 3.0.0 release.
You might notice that there was no release email for the 3.0.0 release,
so let us shed some light on that release.
What changed?
ovirt-node-3.0.0 was a major release which brought some major changes.
One important change is, that Node is now an "universal image" [2]. The
base Node images (for Fedora 19 and EL6) do _not_ contain any specific
VDSM bits anymore and can _not_ be used directly with oVirt Engine.
The VDSM specific parts got extracted and can be found in the
ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm [3][4].
For convenience we plan to provide additional images containing the VDSM
plugin which will make the images ready to use with oVirt Engine.
For this release we need to delay the release of the VDSM images due to
some last-minute bugs.
There are also many more new features in 3.0 [0][5]:
* Universal Image - Remove VDSM specific bits to make the image more
general (an VDSM image is still provided)
* Improved upgrade tool
* Software iSCSI root
* Puppet configuration management (plugin)
* Bridegeless Networking
* NIC Bonds
* New installer TUI
* IPv6 support in the setup TUI
* Diagnostics page in the setup TUI
* Images for Fedora 19 and EL6
Let us know [6][7] if you found an issue, miss something which should be
part of Node or would like to use Node in your project.
Thanks
The oVirt Node Team

Final RC builds have been posted to the beta repos on ovirt.org. The
current scheduled release for 3.3 is set for Monday assuming no critical
blocker issues are found before then.
If you picked up beta packages prior to Thursday at approximately 11 AM
EDT (15:00 UTC), there is a new ovirt-engine package that fixes a single
security issue [1][2].
