On the other hand, we need to define the management network when a

is added to the setup, and nagging for confirmation for each of them may
lead us to the blind baboon acking syndrome.
Since I'd like to normalize the way ovirtmgmt is created, and make it
more like other networks, I've written up
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Normalized_ovirtmgmt_Initialization
If the Add Host dialog had a checkbox saying "define ovirtmgmt network
automatically", would it satisfy you? (any other comment to that feature
page is welcome).
1. in general, I like it. iiuc, you don't really need the management
network for normal work (engine would connect to host by its fqdn/ip by
default). if you do want to set a vlan/bond/SLA/roles/etc - then you
just configure it.
2. need to see how to preserve backward compatibility - i.e., bootstrap
will probably need to handle this for older engines.
3. iirc, in ovirt-node the bridge is created prior to bootstrap, which
wouldn't be needed any more.
