The installation process is long but easy if you follow the instructions (although I encountered some small problems). One oVirt is installed you = can access it through port 8080. For a production environment I would not recommend using oVirt right now. It is still under development and some important features are not yet available on the web interface, namely = the configuration options, the storage configuration and high availability. Therefore, it will surely not fit your requirements now. But as a work = in progress I would recommend you to follow its development as sooner than later it will be a polished and usable product. In the meantime, If = money is what concerns you, RHEL is free but after 60 days you won=92t have = access to support nor updates (which is not critical if the system is running = behind a firewall or is on an intranet which is not probably the case). If money = is not an issue, go for RHEL or Citrix XenServer. And If money is = definitely not an issue at all, I would go for vSphere from vmware as the best available choice for a production environment.=20 =20 Also, other alternatives exist for servers virtualization like proxmox = (the 2.0 beta is out) and eucalyptus (which will be release 3 soon). =20 Don=92t hesitate to contact me If you have further questions on my = experiences will all that software,=20 =20 Regards, =20 Jose. =20 De: users-bounces@ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] En nombre = de Gary Scarborough Enviado el: jueves, 10 de noviembre de 2011 6:03 Para: users@ovirt.org Asunto: [Users] ovirt vs RHEV-M =20 I see you have instructions for building the ovirt manager up on the = wiki. My question is: How does this compare to what Red Hat is shipping in = RHEL? Is the code base currently the same as what Red Hat is shipping? I am evaluating ovirt for possible deployment in a university setting and wondering if it would be better to pursue a RHEL subscription for our cluster. Any light you could shed on this would be very helpful.
