Re: [Users] Creating bridge fails on Centos 6.3 node / vdsm

Hello everybody, I installed oVirt Engine on a CentOS 6.3 host (also serving repositories via HTTP and NFS, running puppet, razor and svn as well as xinetd/TFTP, NFS, DNS and DHCP). When I set up a new node with a minimal CentOS 6.3 install and then use the OVirt GUI to install vdsm on it, I get an error setting up the bridging. As a next step, I set up the node again and installed vdsm and vdsm-cli manually before setting up the node via the GUI. This time, I don't see any errors in the event log of the node in ovirt GUI. However, the bridge is not created and the node marked as "not operational". When I click on the node and click "set up Networks", I can assign the ovirtmgmt network to eth0. When I click on OK, I get "Error while executing action Setup Networks: Internal oVirt Engine Error" in the gui. The engine.log shows the following messages: 2012-09-05 10:49:03,833 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.SetupNetworksCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-7) [3e1fa402] Running command: SetupNetworksCommand internal: false.

Any help how to resolve the error 'Specified netmask or gateway but not ip' is appreciated.
