I don't quite understand. Can you start multiple nested VM in a single
GCE node, each communicating with its own mac? I believe that you'd
need mac-spoofing for that simple task, too.
I can start three nested VMs in a single GCE instance and have them
communicating with each others but this is going to add another
virtualization level on my lab.
What I'm trying to do is to launch three different GCE instances with
Centos 7.4 and install on each of them the hyperconverged nodes. GCE
doesn't allow to enable mac-spoofing on instance's nics so I'm unable to
communicate with the engine from outside the host where it's installed.
To make a nested VMs to be accessible from outside the host, GCE suggest to
use a bridge network with iptables forwarding rules (
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualizat...
) but this is not going to work with high-availability.
Self-hosted engine has to be highly-available. It has to run equally
well on all hosted-engine hosts, thus I believe it needs all hosts to
allow mac-spoofing.
So I'm trying to do something impossible.
@Sandro : this is a test environment. I'm learning to use oVirt in my
off-work time so I'm trying to see if I can move my learning platform from
a dedicated server to a cloud service.
Thank you both
Matteo
