My setup has 3 networks: 1xIB,1x10Gbit+1Gbit for ovirt-management. The ovirt network does not have any trouble, it is always there. I was trying to rename or remove my IB network which was used for VM migrations. I was using web-GUI, which was removing IB0 network w/o problem. After removal the hosts where ok.

Then I put them to maintenance mode. To refresh iptables rules I did reinstall. then reinstall was failing with message that IB0 not attached to any interface. But IB0 interface is not possible to attach it is already deleted and not visible in any network dialog. After creating interface with the same name everything is online now. My current interface list is following: virsh -r net-list Name State Autostart Persistent -------------------------------------------------- ;vdsmdummy; active no no vdsm-cls10G active yes yes vdsm-IB0 active yes yes vdsm-ovirtmgmt active yes yes On this host the IB0 is not atached to any interface, I wondered, if it should show up in the net list? I think the GUI does not rename/remove the interface from the DB. Some constrain keeps still IB0 in DB. *********************************************************** Dr. Arman Khalatyan eScience -SuperComputing Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP) An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany *********************************************************** On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 10:31 AM, Moti Asayag <masayag(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Arman Khalatyan" <arm2arm(a)gmail.com&gt; > > To: "users" <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; > > Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 1:22:43 PM > > Subject: [ovirt-users] Unable to reinstall hosts after network removal. > > > > Hello, > > I have a little trouble with ovirt 3.5 on CentOS6.6: > > I was removing all networks from all hosts. > > Did you use the setup networks dialog from the UI in order to remove those > networks ? > Or have you removed those networks from the host directly (where you > should used the: > 1. virsh net-destroy 'the-network-name' > 2. virsh net-undefine 'the-network-name' > ) > > can you report the output of 'virsh -r net-list' ? > > > Then after removing network from data center the hosts went to unusable. > > What was the host's status prior to removing its networks ?
