[ovirt-users] oVirt Live USB3 question

[Michael McConachie]

Hi all,


Potentially stupid question here. Sorry in advance if so.  I have always built out full blown multi rack instances of oVirt, and RHEV for clients, but the following question has me wondering before I go digging and trying it out...


I realize that the oVirtLive ISO is for demo purposes, sandboxing, and not production: I have a client, who is in need of a bootable AIO-based USB install with the caveat of being able to connect to the computer's HD and other external storage at that point (for the Storage and ISO domains that I'll create afterwards).  This is because they have one BM to work with and they don't want the extra overhead using an SSD HD slot. They don't want to use a Sata DOM either if possible.


In saying that, and concerning the oVirt LiveISO capabilities - I have two questions.


- Does the AIO USB install load necessary runtimes into memory, similar to esxi bootable USBs and utilize the base hardware afterwards so that the rest of the operations are ran in memory, hitting the disk (USB in this case) like a normal OS load when needed for kernel calls, etc..??

- Are there a terrible performance costs if we stay with USB3 (which has a ridiculous theoretical speed in certain hardware matching situations)?


Thanks in advance for anyone who might have already crossed this bridge and can provide insight.
