- hosted engine vm - assign static IP, no dhcp reservation.
 That’s pretty bad security for not allowing special characters, maybe not spaces either? Tower has that restriction too for a certain password. I think it's the RabbitMQ password. If it's long enough I don't see it making much difference. Maybe, but again not sure the reasoning why the no special character especially if it is used in other languages.

Oh sure I agree it should be supported but a 30 character 3 case password is more secure than a 12 character 4 case. I did a quick search and it looks like you have to manually escape the special characters.

 - Is a bug, the RH folks are looking at it
- see #1

 Plan to start loading up some vm's (in the next few days) 
 Will also like to test some backup & restore products.

 Is this an all in one?

 @stacksofplates Are you asking about the hardware or the oVirt setup?

 Any real advantage vs plain KVM?

 @francesco-provino said in Testing oVirt...: Any real advantage vs plain KVM? oVirt is more in line with RHEV. If all you want to do is run VMs, a plain KVM setup is a simple.

 @francesco-provino This is a 3 + 1 node hyperconverged cluster with Gluster, HA, Live Migration etc!

 Very good more pics and stuff please, did you face any hosts disconnections I faced that alot

 @fateknollogee said in Testing oVirt...: @francesco-provino This is a 3 + 1 node hyperconverged cluster with Gluster, HA, Live Migration etc! That's what I was wondering. I didn't know if it was a self hosted engine (couldn't think of the name last night) or multiple node setup.

 The current version (4.2.5) is very easy to setup.
 I will post some pics of an upcoming version, oVirt Node (4.3) based on Fedora 28.

 oVirt Node v4.3 (based on Fedora 28) - this is pre-release:

 So you're saying ovirt is pushing the Xen guys to get into gear as this appears to be the entire package, with FOSS.

 @dustinb3403 said in Testing oVirt...: So you're saying ovirt is pushing the Xen guys to get into gear as this appears to be the entire package, with FOSS. I believe oVirt is being billed as "vSphere for FOSS" You're probably not going to move the Xen/XS/XCP-ng guys off their spot.

 Can we use the oVirt system to manage an existing KVM server? 
 ( I want to try oVirt, but really don't want to wipe out the system I currently have set up )

 @dafyre said in Testing oVirt...: Can we use the oVirt system to manage an existing KVM server? 
 ( I want to try oVirt, but really don't want to wipe out the system I currently have set up )I tried setting up oVirt a few versions ago and from what I could find, it's almost expected you have a minimum of 3 physical hosts for it. So no, you won't be able to manage a standalone KVM server since everything has to get built to be managed by the oVirt Engine.
