ip link del ovirtmgmt has done the job.... Another issue, but this is likely due to randomised MAC addresses: fatal: [virthyp04.virt.in.bmrc.ox.ac.uk]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["virt-install", "-n", "HostedEngineLocal", "--os-variant", "rhel7", "--virt-type", "kvm", "--memory", "4096", "--vcpus", "64", "--network", "network=default,mac=fe:58:6c:da:1e:cc,model=virtio", "--disk", "/var/tmp/localvmOCYiyF/images/6f76686b-199c-4cb3-bbbe-86fc34365745/72bc3948-5d8d-4877-bac8-7db4995045b5", "--import", "--disk", "path=/var/tmp/localvmOCYiyF/seed.iso,device=cdrom", "--noautoconsole", "--rng", "/dev/random", "--graphics", "vnc", "--video", "vga", "--sound", "none", "--controller", "usb,model=none", "--memballoon", "none", "--boot", "hd,menu=off", "--clock", "kvmclock_present=yes"], "delta": "0:00:01.355834", "end": "2019-03-29 11:31:02.100143", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2019-03-29 11:31:00.744309", "stderr": "ERROR unsupported configuration: Unable to use MAC address starting with reserved value 0xFE - 'fe:58:6c:da:1e:cc' - \nDomain installation does not appear to have been successful.\nIf it was, you can restart your domain by running:\n virsh --connect qemu:///system start HostedEngineLocal\notherwise, please restart your installation.", "stderr_lines": ["ERROR unsupported configuration: Unable to use MAC address starting with reserved value 0xFE - 'fe:58:6c:da:1e:cc' - ", "Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.", "If it was, you can restart your domain by running:", " virsh --connect qemu:///system start HostedEngineLocal", "otherwise, please restart your installation."], "stdout": "\nStarting install...", "stdout_lines": ["", "Starting install..."]} Seems it doesn't take into account reserved values when generating. I hope this feedback is valuable - I have a good feeling about the current deploy otherwise though.

If you need to deploy over vlan 123 over bond0 simply configure a device exactly called bond0.123 and statically configure your IP address there. Choose it for hosted-engine deployment, nothing more: ovirtmgmt will be automatically created over that device and the vlan ID will be set at engine level for the whole management network.

It is a bug if you intend on using the ovirtmgmt network to deploy your ansible from This is a bit tricky: when the engine brings up the host it also creates the management bridge and this could lead to a temporary network down on the selected interface for the bridge creation time (a couple of seconds?) I tried it on a LAN and ansible ssh connection always survived but I 'm not sure it's always true. , and you need it to have an IP address already on that range! But - it works as expected with the ovirtmgmt bridge setup so nothing to worry about.

We've got a pre-defined bond/VLAN setup for our interface which has the correct bond0 bond0.123 and ovirtmgmt bridge on top but we're hitting the classic error: Failed to find a valid in terface for the management network of host virthyp04.virt.in.bmrc.ox.ac.uk<http://virthyp04.virt.in.bmrc.ox.ac.uk/>. If the interface ovirtmgmt is a bridge, it should be torn-down manually. Does this bug still exist in the latest (4.3) version, and is installing using ansible with this network configuration impossible? I don't think it's a bug; please avoid manually creating ovirtmgmt and simply set: he_bridge_if: "bond0.123", in ansible variable file and the management bridge will be created for you at host-deploy time.
