Wonderful thank you. Once I install oVirt in KVM (without oVirt) will I<br>
be able to import the VM in oVirt after I'm up?<br>

what would be the benefit of doing that?<br>

Yes!<br>
<br>
<br>
how critical is the availability?<br>
you could place it in a VM on shared storage.<br>
then launch it on one host.<br>
but you should never launch it on the other host before you made<br>
sure it doesn't run on the first node, or it will be corrupted.<br>
you also want to set the SPM priority on the node it is running to<br>
lower than the other node so SPM won't be scheduled on engine node.<br>

Thank you Itamar, much appreciated...<br>
<br>
So how would you go about getting this setup if you<br>
only have 2 host<br>
servers?<br>
<br>
<br>
are they supposed to be in same cluster with shared<br>
storage, live<br>
migration, etc.?<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am starting a small hosting business and<br>
want to use<br>
oVirt w/<br>
KVM as<br>
my virtualization platform.<br>
<br>
I currently have 2 host servers and an iSCSI NAS.<br>
<br>
Do I need a dedicated machine to run oVirt?<br>
Can I run<br>
it from a VM?<br>
<br>
<br>
either will work, but not easy right now to host<br>
the engine<br>
on its<br>
own hypervisor.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Can I use the all-in-one solution in a Production<br>
environment,<br>
with a<br>
2nd host? ... would I need to install oVirt on<br>
both<br>
hosts, in<br>
the event<br>
that one of my servers went down?<br>
<br>
<br>
the all-in-one is mostly intended for POC level, using<br>
local storage<br>
of the host.<br>
if you plan to use both hosts with local storage, you<br>
should be able<br>
to use it, depending on strength of your hosts.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am trying to see how I can survive if my<br>
oVirt server<br>
fails.<br>
It would<br>
be great if it ran from a VM but I can also<br>
see issues with<br>
doing that...<br>
<br>
Another option would be to run oVirt on my<br>
workstation<br>
and have it<br>
connect to my 2 host servers in colocation<br>
over the<br>
internet?<br>
<br>
<br>
should work over WAN, but if you are hosting, wouldn't<br>
users need to<br>
access the engine / your workstation?<br>
<br>
<br>
Please let me know how you've accomplished an<br>
oVirt<br>
setup with 2<br>
servers.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Nic<br>
