Original situation was:
1 DC
1 Cluster: CLA with 2 hosts: host1 and host2
ovirtmgmt defined on vlan10
engine is an external server on VLAN5 that can reach VLAN10 of hosts
So far so good
Need to add another host that is in another physical server room. Here
VLAN10 is not present, so I cannot set ovirtmgmt
If I understand correctly, the VLAN assigned to ovirtmgmt is a DC
property: I cannot have different vlans assigned to ovirtmgmt in different
clusters of the same DC, correct?
So the path:
Create a second cluster CLB and define on it the logical network
ovirtmgmt2 on VLAN20 and set it as the mgmt network for that cluster
Add the new host host3 to CLB.
So far so good: the engine on VLAN5 is able to manage the hosts of CLA ad
CLB with their mgmt networks in VLAN10 and VLAN20
Now it is decided to create a new VLAN30 that is transportable across the
the 2 physical locations and to have host1, host2, host3 to be part of a
new CLC cluster where the mgmt network is now on VLAN30
Can I simplify operations, as many VMs are already in place in CLA and CLB?
So the question arises:
the 3 hosts were added originally using their dns hostname and not their
IP address.
Can I change my dns settings so that the engine resolves the hostnames
with the new IPs and change vlan of ovirtmgmt?
You can -
1. Move the host to maintenance mode.
2. Change the cluster of the hosts to the new one.
3. Running setupNetworks + save network configuration directly on the host
removing the old management network and configuring the new one (with new
vlan and ip).
Petr, can you please provide the syntax of the command?
* You may first try doing this step via the ui. Make sure you uncheck
the 'Verify
connectivity between Host and Engine' checkbox in the Setup Networks window.
I'm not sure it will work, maybe the engine will block it since you're
trying to touch the nic with the management ip.
4. Change the dns setting to resolve to the new IPs.
And if I decide to start from scratch with this new cluster CLC on VLAN30,
can I retain my old 3 hostnames (resolving to their new IPs)? How?
You can -
1. remove the host from the original clusters
2. remove all the network from the host using Petr's vdsm tool (
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/79495/)
3. change the dns setting to resolve to the new IPs.
4. Add the host to the new cluster.
Hope I was able to clarify a bit the scenario
Gianluca
