Re: [ovirt-users] More 4.1 Networking Questions

Hello Charles, First, can you give us more information regarding the duplicated IPv6 addresses? Since you are going to reinstall the hosted engine, could you make sure that NetworkManager is disabled before adding the second vNIC (and perhaps even disable IPv6 and reboot as well, so we have a solid base and see what makes the difference)? What kind of documentation did you follow to install the hosted engine? Was it this page? https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted- engine/ If so, could you file a bug against VDSM networking and attach /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log and supervdsm.log, and make sure they include the time period from adding the second vNIC to rebooting? Second, even the vNIC going missing after reboot looks like a bug to me. Even though eth1 does not exist in the VM, can you see it defined for the VM in the engine web GUI?

The steps you took to install the hosted engine with regards to networking look good to me, but I believe Sandro (CC'ed) would be able to give more advice. Sandro, since we want to configure bonding, would you recommend to install the engine physically first, move it to a VM, according to the following method, and only then reconfigure networking? https://www.ovirt.org/ documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_ Metal_to_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment/
