Hi My usecase is that I am setting up a lab to emulate a customers production environment which has multiple vlans. As this is done in a hosting environment where I don't have any control over the switches, I've created virtual switches with OpenVSwitch which connects together a couple of physical servers which are running virtual machines to emulate their servers. Currently I'm running a few virtual machines created manually with libvirt but looking for a more user friendly way of handling them.
I'm not looking at managing the network setup from Ovirt, I just want it to use the network that is present and create VM's there.
In this case, you may want to define your ovs-based network in libvirt (virsh net-define bla.xml) and use vdsm-hook-extnet to let ovirt consume it.
The tweaking that I did with 3.6 was to run the hosted-engine setup but where it failed I put the right answer in the file so that it would skip over that part. I got that far that it attempts to start the vm but as it doesn't give right parameters to libvirt it fails to create a port on the bridge.
I'm not having much luck with the 4.0 alpha though, this is a separate machine that I set up for this testing but when I run hosted-engine --deploy it just returns without any message. I did run the cleanup script found at http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/ and rebooted in between but still no luck
