BTW - I installed oVirtEngine at a client's office using a VirtualBox VM. They are a large imaging center and have an Active Directory and DNS in place. I Stumbled upon ALL the same problems when using the default engine setup parameters (it hung upon restarting the HTTPd service).
Just to add to your knowledge, I began doing the oVirtEngine implementation using Parallels Desktop as well as VirtualBox in MY MacBookPro; both experience the same problems.
