[ovirt-users] Put the engine inside hosts after installation

[Donny Davis]

Are you trying to use glusterFS as your hosted engine storage??

What problems are you having with the up and running tutorial?

I have been loosely following it, and have not run into anything that is not solvable.

 

Hosted-Engine is really the way to go, having your management machine HA is a super huge plus.

When you install a new engine the only problem I can think of off the top of my head is the database… when you install the engine, you setup a database, and if this database was on a vm in the cluster I suppose you could have as many engines as you like???? I have not tried this, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello,
I would like to try ovirt with hosted engine installation.

I had so many problems (I have written them in another thread) so I will not try anymore hosted installation (up and running with ovirt 3.5 tutorial)

But now I would try this approach: I install the engine on a dedicated server or as a virtual machine in another kvm based virtualizator.

Now I create an ovirt cluster and use it.

Can I after that install change my mind and so move the engine as a vm in the cluster?

Or can I install a new engine in the cluster and powerdown the first engine?

Thanks in advance for help,
Mario
