Hi,
I setup oVirt a few years back. now that the HCI is real, I am revisiting
it. I have deployed with Gluster, and am now moving on to networking.
I come from a VMware shop and normally we trunk all the network ports
exposing all VLANs to the hosts and place VMs in Portgoups that are tagged
with VLANs.
I did manage to do this years back but I am struggling to get this to work
today. I had pretty limited hardware back then and I thought I installed
using vlan tagging and trunked ports, but I don't see any option to do this
using the glusterfs and hosted engine setup.
Each host has a dual port 10Gb NICs I use one for storage that is connected
to my storage network and one for ovirtmgmt. (I need to add another of
these for redundancy down the road, but no money for that at the moment)
The hosts also have 4 x 1Gb ports. So in lieu of being able to configure
vlan tagging to trunked ports on hosted engine deploy, I am considering
cabling up a 1 Gb port on each in my management services VLAN and when it is
all up and running create another logical network (or several of them as I
think these equate to what is a vlan tagged port group in VMware) with the
10Gb NIC backing for VMs.
Does that sound reasonable? Or if anyone can point me to any docs that
describe how to deploy to a specific VLAN with trunk ports, that would be
nice as well as I won't have to actually go to the office and run additional
cables.
Appreciate any advice
Bill
