[ovirt-users] Complete CentOS 7 environment

[Aslam, Usman]

Thanks for the info guys. CentOS 6 engine seems stable enough and its working great with 6 hypervisors.

CentOS 7 hypervisors hosts are however a different story. Is nic teaming not supported?
Also kdump service commands keep failing in ovirt logs after a clean install? This frustrating enough to make me use 6.

Lastly, Id like to mention that the Ovirt Node 3.5 install iso seems broken on HP DL360. It goes through the install process fine until the very end where it complains about not being able to write the boot loader.

Nodes setup using a minimal install of 6.6 work like a charm and overall I'm loving 3.5
Thanks guys!

Usman

Indeed, although:
1. I didn't yet try that myself (yet?)
2. The opposite direction (7->6) might fail, due to postgresql in 7 dumping data that the version in 6 fails to parse/accept.

It's likely that 3.5.1 will work, but contrary to nodes, there is not a big difference between them for the engine.
