@fateknollogee said in Testing oVirt...:

In the next release (which will 4.2.7), you'll be able to deploy a single node install from Cockpit UI.

But not on Fedora

No Fedora support
Regretfully, Fedora is not supported anymore, and RPMs for it are not provided. These are still built for the master branch, so users that want to test them, can use the nightly snapshot. At this point, we only try to fix problems specific to Fedora if they affect developers. For some of the work to be done to restore support for Fedora, see also tracker bug 1460625.

:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

Just waiting for one more vendor so I can test backups!

@fateknollogee take a look at vprotect. They know what they are doing

I already did.
I'm waiting to test the next release (ETA is 2 weeks).
The new release will do incremental on standalone KVM hosts.

FATeknollogee

@dyasny How, if I may ask, do you know about vProtect?

FATeknollogee

Also waiting for this beta to drop: https://www.trilio.io/triliovault/

@fateknollogee I used to be very involved with everything RHEV and oVirt a while ago. From the time they were called SolidIce in fact

You say "used to", does that mean you are currently not?

What's your take on oVirt?

dyasny

@fateknollogee I left the project a few years ago, moved on to Openstack and the k8s related stuff. And right now I'm into big data and nosql

dyasny

@fateknollogee I'm not objective, being there almost from the start. I know people who have been running it for almost a decade now in production and are quite happy with it though. It would really depend on your use case and budget of course

FATeknollogee

Thanks for the honesty.

dyasny

@fateknollogee if you have a specific use case in mind I can help with that.

My plan it to migrate all my workloads from Hyper-V to oVirt.
Everything from basic servers, SQL, VOIP etc.

dyasny

@fateknollogee you will have to plan the setup properly if you don't want surprises. I'd be keeping away from gluster and hosted engine for example, especially in a large setup.

FATeknollogee

@dyasny All my testing has been HE & gluster!

dyasny

@fateknollogee well, there you go then
