I wound up using a script I found to clean the host and re-install it all. Of course the cleanup process let the firewall in a state where it blocked all traffic (including SSH), but I figured that part out on the 2nd try so added it back into my script for the 3rd. ;) The other difference is that I had already created a bond0 interface which was my default (with a non-NM-controlled static network). However, that shouldn't have made a difference. >> What did your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<dev> file look like? >> (And what does the ifcfg-ovirtmgmt file look like)? > Sadly, thinking I messed things up I scrubbed the machine and started > over.

Okay, so go and try it! :) Worst case, you need to run hosted-engine-cleanup.sh and then reset the firewall and reboot, and then re-install everything: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/pag... http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#fresh-install [snip] >> >> As for the /29 -- don't worry about it now, that would be a routing >> >> issue you can apply later.

The /29 is not > assigned at the moment. You shouldn't need to "assign" anything in the /29 to the host. All that's important is that the physical network can reach the /29. I.e., you could do something like: /32 /32 /29 router ----------- host ---- VMs /29 The host will bridge the network to the VMs, but it can be on a different network. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek(a)ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
