1 .So can ovirt be run with only 2 nodes? 2. With those 2 nodes, do you need a separate shared storage device for live migrations, etc, or can you have local storage (Like "vsan")?

@FATeknollogee said in oVirt Host Choices for Production: @EddieJennings I would start by using oVirt Node (it's based on CentOS), it's the simplest, least hassled way of setting up. Yeah, they have their own Node deployer, I'd generally just use that.

it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

@scottalanmiller said in New Infrastructure to Replace Scale Cluster: So if a VM dies, oVirt will provide non-FT failover, yes. And by having failover you might achieve HA. And oVirt is a critical part of making that possible. But it itself isn't HA, nor does it guarantee HA. It's just a failover component that you can use to "do" HA. It's a component you buy (well, this one is opensource, but still), part of a solution that would cover other potential failure points. The solution in general is also something you can buy, in order to achieve a certain level of HA for those VMs

@FATeknollogee the install itself has been covered too many times to mention Maybe if he runs into a specific issue and solves it, that would be a good thing to share

@DustinB3403 said in Testing oVirt...: Also I feel like the most popular instructions were a blog post, rather than official documentation. I'm not even sure they have a dedicated techwriter. This is why it is better to just follow the official RHV docs. You'll have to filter out the Red Hat specific details, like subscription-manager, but you'll definitely have a better experience

If there was a robust package I could use to get agentless and CBT and file level restore on KVM, I will buy it, if it is reasonable. There was a thread on the other site about Unitrends having agentless on it sometime this year. Ill have to see if I can find it. But I cannot even install Unitrends on Hyper-V server............. Are we allowed to post links from there? Yes Since when? Since the person who made up that insane rule was removed from the site. Would that insane person be Dave? Who is Dave? Nvm. Oh, Dave from over there? I've never heard him called Dave before. Sorry, I knew it was a joke but couldn't figure out what the joke was.

@penguinwrangler said in Enterprise backup: Citrix XenServer, RHEV, oVirt, KVM: @matteo-nunziati Yes, I treat them independently. Which I would love to have the Veeam Appliance which can control them but money is too tight for that. Let us know when the money isn't so tight @RestoronixSean
