Installing oVirt on Fedora Server

oVirt is an open-source virtualization solution designed to manage virtual machines, networks, and storage. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing oVirt on a Fedora Server.

Step 1: Install and update Fedora Server

Before installing oVirt, make sure that you have a functional Fedora Server environment. You can download the latest version of Fedora Server from the official website: https://getfedora.org/server/

After installing Fedora Server, update your system by running the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install oVirt dependencies

oVirt requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Install these dependencies by running the following command:

sudo dnf install wget nano epel-release
sudo dnf install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
sudo dnf install ovirt-engine

Step 3: Configure oVirt Engine

After installing the oVirt Engine, you need to configure it to run on your system. You can configure oVirt Engine by running the following command:

sudo engine-setup

During the installation, you will be prompted with several configuration options. You can choose the default options or customize them based on your requirements.

Step 4: Access the oVirt web interface

Once the installation is complete, you can access the oVirt web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:

https://<your_ip_address>/ovirt-engine

Replace <your_ip_address> with the actual IP address of your server.

You will be prompted with a login page. Use the default credentials (admin / engine) to login and start managing your virtual machines.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install oVirt on a Fedora Server. With oVirt, you can easily manage virtual machines, networks, and storage from a web-based interface.
