Yes, I saw my mistake between oVirt engine and oVirt node ;-) My really question was : is it a good idea to run the oVirt node over another OS ? It would be more performant to run the oVirt node directly over the hardware, like ESXi... May be it is in the roadmap ? And I have another question : is there something like VMFS to store the VM in the SAN ? It's more performant to use FC than NFS shares... Thank you.
