Could you please attach/share hosted-engine-setup, vdsm, supervdsm and = host-deploy (on the engine VM) logs?
I was on the IRC channel yesterday (username: protoporpoise) and user = 'zipur' suggested that although the self-hosted engine documentation = doesn't mention it - they thought that perhaps oVirt doesn't support = having it's management network setup (bridged) to a bonded interface. It does indeed seem like the documentation is a bit fragmented between = the three major install options (self-hosted engine vs engine vs the = appliance-like ISO (I think this was called oVirt live?)). In addition, we usually remove NetworkManager as part of our normal / = existing CentOS 7 SOE as we believe it's not ready for server = deployments (yet, maybe it's OK in the latest Fedora), however it = appears oVirt depends on it. I noticed it generates a big mess of ifcfg files in = sysconfig/network-scripts/ , and often changing configuration using = nmtui / nmcli / editing files gives inconsistent results and nmtui = actually adds a lot of options to bonded interfaces without notifying = you or letting you set / change them (for example, with LACP, you can't = set the lacp_rate to fast, and it sets it to slow for some reason), so = this wasn't helping the confusion. Today I'm going to try installing oVirt hosted-engine on CentOS 7.4 = without the network interfaces being bonded.
Yes, currently ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup is not able to revert to = initial network configuration but hosted-engine-setup is supposed to be = able to consume an existing management bridge.
That's definitely what I experienced yesterday and found it easier = (although very time consuming) to completely reinstall the entire OS = each time to get to a 'clean' state to test the install on. I also had to blkdiscard / zero out the iSCSI LUN, otherwise the = installer would either crash out, or complain that it can't be used. Wish me luck for trying the install without bonded interfaces today - = I'll update this thread with my results and if I'm still having problems = I'll compile the logs up and provide them (off-list), is there anyone = else that I should send them to other than yourself? If I find inconsistent documentation, I'll try to make notes as to where = and then submit merge requests to the site when possible. Thanks again, I'll be on the IRC channel all day.
