Looking at what my best options for managing KVM via a gui. Running Centos 5.4 and have several machines and want to migrate off of vmware server 2.x. So far it appears that the management tools haven't quite cought up to Vmware but are gaining and closing. I have been looking at convirt, and others. I like what I see in Ovirt but I'm not sure it is available for centos 5.4, or is it? Is there anyone running ovirt in centos? Also, what are folks using for their management tools for KVM, Thanks.....
Ovirt looks interesting but is too immature at this point for my taste. Once the project stabilizes and maybe does a 1.0 release it's worth another look.
I'm mostly using virt-manager and shell tools combined with nagios/cacti for monitoring/graphing the systems though I'm looking at Zabbix right now which can do both and seems to be a very nice project all around.
