Description Matt Reid 2015-09-22 19:55:54 UTC

Description of problem:
In the RHCI Getting Started Guide (http://docbuilder.usersys.redhat.com/23119/) I'm not sure how to interpret one of the sentences that is a bullet point in RHEV Limitations in 1.1:
"Only RHEL hosts are supported hypervisor hosts. RHEV Hypervisor is not supported.

That seems to be saying that a limitation of RHEV is that it only runs on a RHEL hypervisor, and not a RHEV hypervisor? During the installer, we set up a RHEV-H system, as well as a RHEV-M system, and we can deploy CFME to the RHEV-H. Which seems like it goes against what that sentence says is possible, but I guess I'm just misinterpreting it.

Hi Matt,
 Thanks for filing this bug. According to BZ#1252536, only RHEL-based hypervisors are supported and that's why the sentence was added. I don't have a test instance at hand atm. Could you confirm if it's RHEV-H that's gets deployed as part of the RHEV+CF deployment and not a RHEL-based hypervisor? I assume later on, you can add additional RHEV-H and RHEL-based hypervisors to the environment? What's the suggested work flow for adding additional hypervisors?

Cheers,
Julie

Sorry Julie, looks like I was mistaken. Just clarified with jmatthews, and it isn't RHEV-H, it's RHEL.

The sentence still seems a little confusing to me, as the distinction between RHEL used as a hypervisor and RHEV-H is small to me (rightly or wrongly). Could we rephrase that to simply say that when RHEV is deployed in a hypervisor + engine configuration, that the hypervisor will be RHEL based, and can't be RHEV-H at this point in time? In my mind that's a little clearer, but it could just be me.
