oVirt Node
Installing oVirt Node
oVirt Node is a minimal operating system based on CentOS that is designed to provide a simple method for setting up a physical machine to act as a hypervisor in an oVirt environment. The minimal operating system contains only the packages required for the machine to act as a hypervisor, and features a Cockpit user interface for monitoring the host and performing administrative tasks. See http://cockpit-project.org/running.html for the minimum browser requirements.
See Chapter 6: oVirt Nodes in the Installation Guide for installation instructions.
Also see Chapter 5: Introduction to Hosts and Chapter 7: Enterprise Linux Hosts
Installing oVirt Node on a physical machine involves three key steps:
-

-
Boot your physical machine from that media and install the oVirt Node minimal operating system.
