[ale] oVirt anyone?

[Jim Kinney]

Yep. CentOS 6.5. I have a 3.4 running on it now and am waiting for the
release to update and get the IPA ability I need. I don't want to downgrade
:-)

I had a setup running earlier using the iSCSI storage management (nearly 2
years ago) and it also just worked. Current setup is using the virt hosts
to provide storage. I plan to setup a common NFS mount for the exports so I
can easily migrate between the different heads (i.e. consolidate all VMs
under one manager). As some of my hosts are Intel and others are AMD, I
have two clusters with different storage so moving between then is blocked.
You _can_ migrate a vm built on Intel to a host running AMD but it must
happen with the host powered down.

NOTE: Nothing I'm doing (with a few exceptions) is Mission Critical on the
ovirt test rigs. The exceptions are some public facing web hosts and the
main IPA server. I have a physical machine as a backup (sort of - it's all
multi-master).

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
