I recently found that when I reinstall a VDSM host via the engine interface, if that host was actually re-provisioned via kickstart, the network settings defined in the engine are lost. Before the re-install I had defined 4 bonds and attached 5 logical networks to the host. After a re-install only ovirtmgmt was attached to the node. Is it intended behavior that a host's network configuration in the ovirt-engine be lost when a host is re-provisioned ? If I have to re-deploy a node, is there a way to make the ovirt-engine define networks for that host get applied to the re-deployed system?
Yes, this is the inteded behavior, though some consider this a design bug. Network config is persisted on each host, and Engine do not automatically applies its own definitions ona re-provisioned host, however, we have 1194297 [RFE] Allow to synchronize all networks on an out-of-sync host in the works, which would make life easier in such conditions.
