Probably 90%+ of what ESXi is used for is virtualizing Windows. Give ovirt in it’s current form to a typical Windows user and they’ll self destruct.</div><div><br></div><div>The first issue with the agents as I can’t even find any documentation on what agents really need installing, and what features I’m getting with that agent!</div><div><br></div><div>Another thing is, I would think that Fedora would be integrated enough with ovirt that it would be able to automatically detect it’s running on ovirt and install all the required agents automatically.</div><div><br></div><div>I forgot my number 5) BIOS needs to work like a standard PC BIOS (as does ESXi) in allowing you to press F8 to get a boot menu or F12 for network boot. This run once stuff is silly. It works fine the first time I create a VM as there’s no bootable OS on the datastore, but if I need to re-PXE boot a VM, then I have to Run Once..OK, fine, but when the PXE completes it reboots, back into network boot, then I have to kill the VM and restart it normally. Under a PC (or ESXi) BIOS, I just hit F12, network boot, OS re-installs, then reboots normally. Much better user experience. I gave our Red Hat sales people feedback on this issue and was told it’s not going to change. </div></div></body></html>
