BTW: is it in any package? [root@tekkaman ovirt-engine]# rpm -ql vdsm-hook-extnet /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_device_create/50_extnet /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_nic_hotplug/50_extnet [root@tekkaman ovirt-engine]# before [root@tekkaman ovirt-engine]# engine-config -g CustomDeviceProperties CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.0 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.1 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.2 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.3 CustomDeviceProperties: {type=interface;prop={SecurityGroups=^(?:(?:[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-(?:[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-){3}[0-9a-fA-F]{12}, *)*[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-(?:[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-){3}[0-9a-fA-F]{12}|)$}} version: 3.4 then [root@tekkaman ovirt-engine]# engine-config -s CustomDeviceProperties='{type=interface;prop={extnet=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}}' Please select a version: 1. 3.0 2. 3.1 3. 3.2 4. 3.3 5. 3.4 5 after: [root@tekkaman ovirt-engine]# engine-config -g CustomDeviceProperties CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.0 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.1 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.2 CustomDeviceProperties: version: 3.3 CustomDeviceProperties: {type=interface;prop={extnet=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}} version: 3.4 # systemctl restart ovirt-engine BTW: is it correct that what before was security groups is now barely overwritten by extnet? Or is there a syntax with which I can add extnet without deleting security groups (even if I don't understand its usage, possibly with openstack integration based on its name...) Anyway now in oVirt webadmin I can edit the "natted" vnic profile and inside the dropdown menu (there isn't any header marked like "custom property" or similar, that could be useful....) shutdown and poweroff vm start vm and now it correctly gets the ip 192.168.125.91 defined inside the dhcp range for "natted" network virsh dumpxml f19 ... <interface type='network' <mac address='00:1a:4a:a8:01:55'/ <source network='natted'/ <target dev='vnet0'/ <model type='virtio'/ <filterref filter='vdsm-no-mac-spoofing'/ <link state='up'/ <alias name='net0'/ <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/ </interface... The web admin portal gives the corect new ip of the VM, as sent by vdagent. The VM is able to navigate through Internet and http://www.whatismyip.com/ gives for example consistent and equal information both using my all-in-one server and my VM Now I'm goint to test if I can solve the openvpn issue Gianluca
