I am incredibly sorry over this noob question but I am really bashing my head trying to simply change an IP address on an Ovirt host.  oVirt was pushed to this host through the server web interface.  It is running on top of Centos 7.

From the docs it says to log into the host and edit the ifcfg-ovirtmgmt file and I have done and here are the latest settings:

#Generated by VDSM version 4.19.28-1.e17.centos

DEVICE:ovirtmgmt

TYPE:Bridge

DELAY=0

STP=off

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=none

MTU=1500

DEFROUTE=yes

NM_CONTROLLED=no

IPV6INIT=yes

IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes

IPADDR=10.0.0.226

GATEWAY=10.0.0.1

PREFIX=13

DNS1=10.0.0.9

DNS2=8.8.8.8

The server can reach everything on the network fine.  Although it cannot be reached through the oVirt web interface and the host is in a “connecting” status.  In the oVirt web interface if I attempt to edit the NIC settings from DHCP to Static to reflect the changes Ive made above I run into this error:

• Cannot setup Networks. Another Setup Networks or Host Refresh process in progress on the host. Please try later.

Dan, Marcin can you help here?

 

What is the correct procedure to change a host management IP from DHCP to STATIC?  Should I make these changes manually on the host or through the NIC settings in the oVirt web interface (when I tried this it just seemed to hang..)

The administration guide related to host management is here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Hosts/

but it doesn't cover the change of the host network configuration.

Dan and Marcin or some other sysadmin in this list may correct me, but I think the correct procedure here is:

- Put the host to maintenance in the ovirt interface

- change the nic settings in ovirt web interface 

- activate the host

Derek, we should probably ensure this case is covered in the Admin guide.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Alex
