Ovirt Node Spin

Summary

oVirt Node is a small scaled down version of Fedora used solely to hosts virtual machine guests.

Owner(s)

Moving to F16 target, the spin did not make it into Fedora 12 due to the current level of blacklisting.( RPM/file system blacklisting has been removed)

Detailed Description

oVirt Node is a small host image that provides libvirt service via KVM to hosts virtual machines. The Ovirt node can be run in standalone mode or in conjunction with different management servers. The ovirt Node Image is a livecd-based image that can be installed to the hosts physical storage, or run as a live image off a cd or usb key.

Benefit to Fedora

Easy way for users of Fedora and oVirt to download an oVirt Node image. This lessens the difficulty by not requiring the user to build an ISO image or being distributed in a RPM.

Kickstart File

Notes about kickstart part / is set to 1024 for a smaller footprint, disk usage is approximatly 670MB

One section in the kickstart is set --nochroot to put version details directly on the iso. This is used for comparision between upgrade scenaros. We can remove this if its just not possible.

All previous blacklisting has been removed
