[Users] Ovirt Engine as a VM
Had anyone created a how to or notes on how to manage an ovirt engine as a guest on the cluster? This should be possible, when the cluster is powered up for the first time it would require some specialized instructions to fire up the ovirt engine on a node. P.S. Are there any plans for redundant ovirt engines in the works?

it is something on the roadmap, but nothing concrete yet other than run it under a clustering service.

Does the guest(VM) hosting the ovirt-engine be managed by the ovirt-engine? If It does, it looks like a logical loop here. Say, if the ovirt-engine stop the hosting VM, the ovirt-engine will also be stopped.

could be, but still not. and yes, would need to be self-aware to recognize the loop.

There are issues to be worked out, but I think it makes more sense then dedicated hardware for the ovirt-engine.
