ovirt Cookbook

The oVirt cookbook allows you to easily install oVirt engine and oVirt node with Chef.

oVirt is a virtualization management application. That means that you can use the oVirt management interface (the oVirt engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running in your data center. The ovirt module allows you to install the oVirt Engine (management host) and oVirt Node (hyperviser host) software on RedHat-based distros.

Requirements

RHEL and CentOS hosts need to have EPEL configured in order to fulfill oVirt rpm dependencies.

Supported Operating Systems

• CentOS
• RHEL
• Fedora

Usage

Creating an oVirt Engine

To create an oVirt Engine include ovirt::engine in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[ovirt::engine]"
  ]
}

The oVirt Engine is now up and running. You can log in to the oVirt Engine's web administration portal with the username admin in the internal domain.

Creating an oVirt Node

To create an oVirt Node include ovirt::node in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[ovirt::node]"
  ]
}

At this point, you are able to add the node to a host cluster using an oVirt Engine.
