In December, the oVirt Project shipped version 4.2 of its open source virtualization management system. With a new release comes an update to this howto for running oVirt together with Gluster storage using a trio of servers to provide for the system’s virtualization and storage needs, in a configuration that allows you to take one of the three hosts down at a time without disrupting your running VMs.
If you’re looking instead for a simpler, single-machine option for trying out oVirt, your best bet is the oVirt Live ISO page. This is a LiveCD image that you can burn […]

In June, the oVirt Project shipped version 4.0 of its open source virtualization management system. With a new release comes an update to this howto for running oVirt together with Gluster storage using a trio of servers to provide for the system’s virtualization and storage needs, in a configuration that allows you to take one of the three hosts down at a time without disrupting your running VMs.
One of the biggest new elements in this version of the howto is the introduction of gdeploy, an Ansible based deployment tool that was initially written to install GlusterFS clusters, but […]
In November, version 3.6 of oVirt, the open source virtualization management system, hit FTP mirrors featuring a whole slate of fixes and enhancements, including support for storing oVirt’s self hosted management engine on a Gluster volume.
This expanded Gluster support, along with the new “arbiter volume” feature added in Gluster 3.7, has allowed me to simplify (somewhat) the converged oVirt+Gluster installation that’s powered my test lab for the past few years.
Read on to learn about my favored way of running oVirt, using a trio of servers to provide for the system’s virtualization and storage needs, in a […]
