[ovirt-users] oVirt Node as vm

[Greg Sheremeta]

I run oVirt Node in a VM with virt-manager in Fedora 20. Works perfectly for me :)

Have you tried virt-manager?

Two tips:
1. enable nested kvm on the bare metal (L0)
2. pass through the bare metal's CPU flags to the VM.

See here for examples of these tips: http://dustymabe.com/2013/10/21/nested-virt-and-fedora-20-virt-test-day/
