Regarding ovirt - its is a full stack so there is not just the web interface - there is the hypervisor, guest additions and other bits and bobs etc. It is possible to run the ovirt-engine as a VM on one of the KVM hosts which could be your only RHEL VM. This would give a more pure debian style KVM host/one vm acting as a controller type setup. An alternative might be Proxmox (which is better imho). If ovirt ever runs on debian this VM would also not be needed. | Regarding ovirt - its is a full stack so there is not just the web interface - there is the hypervisor, guest additions and other bits and bobs etc. It is possible to run the ovirt-engine as a VM on one of the KVM hosts which could be your only RHEL VM.
