[ovirt-users] ovirt homeserver

[david caughey]

Hi,

I'm building a homeserver to run ovirt and wanted to get opinions on the
best approach.
The server will be used as a test/studybed for
ovirt/kvm/vcloud/openstack/ceph.
The server will be based around a Xeon E5 10 core with 128GB ram.
Option 1:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy ovirt directly on top.
Option 2:
Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy multiple ovirt instances on top of
KVM.
Which will be the most stable versatile method?
If a GPU is used as a passthrough device can it be used on several vm's or
is it restricted to 1 vm?
If 2 GPU's are used can 1 be used as a dedicated passthrough to 1 vm and
the other shared between the remaining vm's?
Is CentOS/RH the best platform for ovirt?
Is it okay/advisable to load the latest kernel, (4.8 ish), on to CentOS
before installing ovirt?

Any and all comments/advice welcome,

David
