Hi all,
When setting up hosted engine setup on top gluster with 3 nodes, I had gluster configured on a separate network interface, as recommended. When I tried later to upload ISO from engine to ISO domain, the engine was not able to upload it since the VM did not have access to the separate storage network. I then added the storage network interface to the hosted engine and ISO upload succeeded.
1st question: do I need to add the network interface to engine in order to upload ISOs? does there exist any alternate way?
Then I proceeded to configure bonding for the storage domain, bonding 2 NICs at each server. When trying to set a custom bond of mode=6 (as recommended from gluster) I received a warning that mode0, 5 and 6 cannot be configured since the interface is used from VMs. I also understood that having the storage network assigned to VMs makes it a bridge which decreases performance of networking. When trying to remove the network interface from engine it cannot be done, since the engine is running.
2nd question: Is there a way I can remove the secondary storage network interface from the engine?
