Do not:
- use special characters in any of your passwords - letters & numbers only.
 - hosted engine vm - assign static IP, no dhcp reservation.
 
That’s pretty bad security for not allowing special characters, maybe not spaces either?
Tower has that restriction too for a certain password. I think it's the RabbitMQ password. If it's long enough I don't see it making much difference.
Maybe, but again not sure the reasoning why the no special character especially if it is used in other languages.
Oh sure I agree it should be supported but a 30 character 3 case password is more secure than a 12 character 4 case.
I did a quick search and it looks like you have to manually escape the special characters.

- Is a bug, the RH folks are looking at it
 - see #1

Plan to start loading up some vm's (in the next few days)
Will also like to test some backup & restore products.

Is this an all in one?

@stacksofplates Are you asking about the hardware or the oVirt setup?

Any real advantage vs plain KVM?

oVirt is more in line with RHEV. If all you want to do is run VMs, a plain KVM setup is a simple.

@francesco-provino This is a 3 + 1 node hyperconverged cluster with Gluster, HA, Live Migration etc!

Very good more pics and stuff please, did you face any hosts disconnections I faced that alot

That's what I was wondering. I didn't know if it was a self hosted engine (couldn't think of the name last night) or multiple node setup.

This setup uses the Hosted Engine.

No host disconnections at all.
The current version (4.2.5) is very easy to setup.
I will post some pics of an upcoming version, oVirt Node (4.3) based on Fedora 28. - 
oVirt Node v4.3 (based on Fedora 28) - this is pre-release:

So you're saying ovirt is pushing the Xen guys to get into gear as this appears to be the entire package, with FOSS.

I believe oVirt is being billed as "vSphere for FOSS"
You're probably not going to move the Xen/XS/XCP-ng guys off their spot.

Can we use the oVirt system to manage an existing KVM server?
( I want to try oVirt, but really don't want to wipe out the system I currently have set up ) -

( I want to try oVirt, but really don't want to wipe out the system I currently have set up )I tried setting up oVirt a few versions ago and from what I could find, it's almost expected you have a minimum of 3 physical hosts for it.
So no, you won't be able to manage a standalone KVM server since everything has to get built to be managed by the oVirt Engine.
