Hi Wenyi,

ovirt-node doesn't just run in livecd mode, it *is* a livecd.  If you're
using ovirt-node with ovirt-engine (or derivative builds like RHEV-H
with RHEV-M), then you shouldn't have any need to persist anything
manually.  This is handled by the vdsm and ovirt-node packages
automatically.

There is no plan to let it run in any mode other than livecd.  There are
other options in those cases, like running a full OS rather than an
ovirt-node iso.

Thanks

Mike
