Hi, I was recently playing around with the new ovirt 3.4 ga, I'm very happy all those issues I reported got fixed :D I found a new issue regarding the use of PREFIX vs NETMASK which I've uploaded here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084685 Anyway -- I'm wondering what is the purpose for the gateway check in the hosted-engine setup? In my test case, I had the following NIC configuration eth0 - public (has gateway) eth1 - management eth1.1 - storage eth2 - vm data (no IP address) So during the hosted engine install, it will not let me assign eth2 as the NIC because it has no IP address or gateway. So I proceed to use eth1 instead as, as it has an IP address but again that would fail because no gateway. Luckily I have a L3 switch, so I put up a gateway for eth1 and that solved that issue. What is the gateway check supposed to achieve? I also tried to put in my eth0's IP address as the gateway but it still failed because of those config issues. If management/ovirtmgmt/vmdata are all on a L2 switch environment, effectively there becomes no gateway and it prevents the installation.
