I'm an intern for Computer Science and Computer Engineering for the University and this is something i get to do on the side. I don't have much experience in networking, as most of it is programming, testing and which is why I think it's going to be fun! Alas, my boss thinks it's good for me to drown a little.
Currently my "brother in crime" and I have CENTOS running. The plan was to get Ovirt running on top of them. I haven't started getting Ovirt running however, we have been busy. We are not going to be putting together a HA cluster, as we decided this was less fun and is what everyone at the University does. Not having much experience in Clustering I would have shot for a Beowulf cluster, but I'm open to alternatives.
I'm mainly worried because conceptually it seems pretty straightforward. Yet I'm assured by my professor that this will take longer than I think.
