oVirt 4.4.3 is intended for production use and is available for the following platforms:
Engine:
I am installing CentOS 6.5 to RAID servers and I want to install boot and LVM to USB so I can plut the USB to any server without repeating installation process. My understanding is there could be two solutions: (1) Install boot and LVM to an at least 8GB USB. (2) Download and install CentOS-6.5-x8664-LiveDVD.iso to USB. This is the configuration Examples for CentOS 6.x that is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x. CentOS 6 was released on 10 July 2011 and will be supported untill the end of November, 2020. Download ISO file of CentOS 6.10 for installation from the following site. Index of /iso/centos/ Males Download atau Bandwidth lemot?

Following with the release of RHEL 6.5, CentOS 6.5 has arrived on 1st Dec and its time to play with it. For those who want to update their existing 6.4 systems to 6.5 simply use the “yum update” command and all the magic would be done.
Hosts:
See the Release Notes for oVirt 4.4.3.
oVirt is installed using a graphical installer in Cockpit.
oVirt Engine and a Host are installed together with the Engine running as a Virtual Machine on that Host.Once you install a second Host, the Engine Virtual Machine will be highly available. See theoVirt documentation for full details.
oVirt supports two types of Hosts:
Depending on your environment requirements, you may want to use only oVirt Nodes, only EL Hosts, or both.
Download the oVirt Node Installation ISO (current stable is oVirt Node 4.4 - Stable Release - Installation ISO)
Write the oVirt Node Installation ISO disk image to a USB, CD, or DVD.
Boot your physical machine from that media and install the oVirt Node minimal operating system.
Instead of or in addition to oVirt Node, you can use a standard Enterprise Linux installation as a Host.
Install one of the supported operating systems (CentOS, RHEL) on your Host and update it:
Add the official oVirt repository:
Enable the Base, Appstream, and Ansible repositories (Red Hat Enterprise Linux only):
Install Cockpit and the cockpit-ovirt-dashboard plugin:
Enable Cockpit:
Open the firewall:
Log in to Cockpit as root at https://[Host IP or FQDN]:9090 and click Virtualization → Hosted Engine.
Click Start under the Hosted Engine option.
Complete the setup wizard. As part of the setup, you will enter the Hosted Engine’s name.
As part of the setup wizard, you will need to provide the location of your storage. oVirt requires a centralshared storage system for Virtual Machine disk images, ISO files, and snapshots.
Once the installation completes, oVirt’s web UI management interface will start. Browse to https://[Hosted Engine’s name]/ to begin using oVirt!
See Browsers and Mobile Clients for supported browsers and mobile client information.
Once the Engine is installed, you must install at least one additional Host for advanced features like migrationand high-availability.
Once you have installed additional oVirt Nodes or EL Hosts, use the oVirt Administration Portal to add them to the Engine.Navigate to Compute → Hosts → New and enter the Host details. SeeAdding a Host to the oVirt Engine for detailed instructions.
Once oVirt Engine is installed and you have added Hosts and configured storage,you can now install Virtual Machines! See the Virtual Machine Management Guidefor complete instructions.
For best Virtual Machine performance and accurate dashboard statistics, be sure to install theoVirt Guest Agent and Drivers for Linux[for Windows]in each Virtual Machine.

The console is a graphical window that allows you to view and interact with the screen of a Virtual Machine.In oVirt, you can use a web-based console viewer or a desktop application (we recommend Remote Viewer).For Windows virtual machines, Remote Desktop Protocol is also available.
