Configuration oVirt
To create virtual machine from hosted engine web administrator portal, we will have to set up:
- Data Center
- Clusters
- Hosts (Ovirt Node)
- Network (default ovirtmgmt)
- Storage (NFS)
- Create New Data Center
- Go to Compute > Data Center > New
- Go to Compute > Data Center > New

- Compute > Cluster
- Once click okay it will prompt for cluster setting, click configure cluster
- Specify the name, description, CPU architecture, as per your setup
- Configure Host
- Compute > Host
- New Host and fill the configuration needed
- Once added, click installation > enroll certificate
- After that, activate it by clicking management > activate
- Create Storage Domain
- Storage > Domain
- Click on New and fill the information needed for the NFS
- Upload ISO
- Storage > Disk
- Click on upload and choose ISO to upload
- Create Virtual Machine
- Compute > Virtual Machine
- Click new and fill the information needed
- Create instance image
- Go to System tab and set specs
- Go to Boot options to set boot
- Click ok and click run once to verify the boot option and click run.
- Console the server
- Click on console and select the console option, click console again to remote
