[ovirt-users] Customized Network Setup?

Hello Charles,

I think you can get your desired network with oVirt.

Create second network external_network, you can uncheck "VM network"
there. Then in Setup Networks dialog you can create a bonding, add
ovirtmgmt on top of that and external_net on top of a 1G interface.

During the configuration you can specify which network will handle
default route. From
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1400366:

1. In the Manager, open a console and add the custom property.
  engine-config -g UserDefinedNetworkCustomProperties
  engine-config -s
UserDefinedNetworkCustomProperties='default_route=^(true|false)$'
  systemctl restart ovirt-engine

2. On each host:
   2.1 Set the property to False on the management (ovirtmgmt|rhevm) network
   2.2 Set the property to True on the desired new default route network
   2.3 Set a next-hop IP address (Gateway) in the new default route network

3. Apply configurations
Two important notes that must be added to the docs:
* This configuration is PER HOST, and needs to be done on each host.
* If the gataway for the new default route network is not set, it will
be IGNORED. Leaving the gateway blank will NOT set device based route
(such as for proxy-arp scenarios).

Regards,
Petr
