oVirt is a free and open source virtualization software used in Linux like operating systems such as Fedora, CentOS and RHEL. In other words we can say oVirt is the alternate of VMware vSphere in Linux. Ovirt community is founded and supported by Red Hat and it is considered as upstream project for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV).
oVirt consists of two main components :
oVirt Engine is a graphical user interface or we can say it is a Web administrator portal from where we can manage virtual machines, compute, network and storage resources.
oVirt Node is either a RHEL / CentOS or Fedora Server on which vdsm service is up and running. Ovirt node will act as Hypervisor (KVM) on which all the Virtual machines will be created.
In this article we will install the latest version oVirt 4.0.3 on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 . We will be using two servers one will act as ovirt engine and other will act as ovirt node. Below are the details :
oVirt Engine : ovirtengine.example.com (192.168.1.30 )
oVirt Node : ovirtnode.example.com (192.168.1.40)
Update the below entries in /etc/hosts file in case you don’t have your local dns server.
192.168.1.30 ovirtengine.example.com
192.168.1.40 ovirtnode.example.com
Installation Steps of oVirt Engine on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7
Following are minimal requirements for ovirt-engine :
- Minimal OS ( CentOS 7.x / RHEL 7.x )
- Dual core server
- 4 GB RAM
- 25 GB Disk Space
- 1-Gbps Lan Card
Perform the following steps one after the another to install ovirt engine.
Step:1 Update the server using yum command
Install latest update on server using beneath yum command.
[root@ovirtengine ~]# yum update -y
Once the updates are installed reboot the sever.
Step:2 Enable oVirt 4.0.3 Repository
ovirt engine packages are not available in CentOS and RHEL yum repositories. Run below command to set and enable ovirt 4.0 repertory
[root@ovirtengine ~]# yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release40.rpm
Step:3 Install oVirt Engine Package using yum command
Execute the following yum command to install ovirt engine.
[root@ovirtengine ~]# yum install ovirt-engine -y
Step:4 Start the ovirt engine installer
Run the command ‘engine-setup’ from the console, it will start the ovirt engine installer and will interactively ask series of question during the installation and will save all the answers to a answer file. Answer file can be reused in order to automate the installation.

In Case firewall is enabled on your server , then execute steps mentioned in above output.
Step:5 Access oVirt Engine Web Administrator portal.
Open the web browser and type URL :
https://ovirtengine.example.com
or
https://IP_Address
Replace the domain name or IP address as per your setup.
Click on Administrator Portal.
Enter the user name as ‘admin‘ and password that we mentioned during installation and Profile as internal.
At this point ovirt engine installation is completed, now install ovirt node.
Installation Steps of oVirt Node (Hypervisor)
oVirt Node can be configure in two different methods , First method is that we can download the hypervisor or ovirt-node iso file from its official web site and install the server from the downloaded iso file.
Second method is that we can make existing CentOS , RHEL and Fedora server as ovirt node by installing vdsm package on it and then we will add that host or server manually from ovirt engine administrator portal.
Minimum requirements for oVirt Node is :
- Dual-core System
- 10 GB Physical RAM
- 10 GB Disk Space
- 1-Gbps Lan Card
In this tutorial i am going with first method, I have already downloaded the
oVirt 4.0 Node iso file. Burn the downloaded iso file either into DVD or USB drive and Boot the boot the server with DVD/USB follow the Screen instructions.
Select the first option ‘Install oVirt Node 4.0.3‘
Select the Language and Click on Continue …
In the Next Step perform the following steps :
- Configure Networking
- Set Hostname
- Select disk for OS installation
- Date and Time as per setup
- Keyboard Layout
In my Case Hostname is “ovirtnode.example.com” and IP address is 192.168.1.40
Click on Begin Installation
Set root password and click on done
oVirt 4.0.3 Node installation is in progress.
Once the installation is completed reboot your server.
Add oVirt Node (ovirtnode.example) in ovirt engine from Web Administrator Portal.
Login to Administrator Portal , Go to Hosts Tab —> click on New
Specify the ovirt node details.
Once done with the entries, click on OK.
As i am doing this setup in my lab so i am not going to “Configure Power Management“. Click on OK
As we can see below that ovirt engine is installing the software on ovirt node. In Case host does not get activated after installing the software, then select Host and Click on Activate
As we can see Host is activated now.
That’s all. Hope you like the installation and Configuration steps of oVirt 4.0.3.In the coming article we will discuss how to create data centers, cluster and Virtual machines
