Note that the current stable OpenNebula[1] is 4.10.

This article describes a multi-server setup:

- the frontend which runs the management daemons, the opennebula web
  interface (sunstone) and a NFS server

- the nodes which run libvirtd and use the NFS exported by the frontend

In the NFS configuration[2], you have a warning about setting up what I
call a « single node », i.e. everything on a single physical standalone
machine.

Some steps are already managed by the opennebula debian packages, like
the Qemu configuration.

The minimal requirement for a separated frontend is the ability for the
user oneadmin on the frontend to connect over SSH on each nodes without
passwords.

If you want live migration, you must use shared storage[3][4].

More informations are available in “planning the installation”[5].

Regards.
