I would either:

(a) put "Virt" as the default, or


That would only be logical, since the product´s name is oVirt after all.



(b) remove this question entirely - if someone is installing oVirt,
assume they want to manage virt. If someone is installing Gluster, have
an option during the Gluster install to have the oVirt management console.


Actually, we thought it was great to  get asked that during the install, since we have two engines here; one for Virt and one just as a Gluster Engine (thinking about naming it Glen...), so we´d really like if you kept that question in.

If someone wants to manage both their Gluster bricks and their virt with
oVirt, I would make that a post-install option to oVirt - perhaps with
an extra package to install (which would depend on the later version of
Gluster).

Cheers,
Dave.
