[ovirt-users] Public IP routing question
If I have a private network (10.1.0.0/24) that is being used by the cluster for intra-host
communication & replication, how do I get a block of public IP addresses routed to the
virtual cluster?
For example, let's say I have a public /28, and let's use 1.1.1.0/28 for example
purposes.
I'll assign 1.1.1.1 to the router.
How can I then route 1.1.1.2 - 1.1.1.16 down to the virtualized oVirt cluster?
Do I need to assign a public IP address to a 2nd physical NIC on each host, and put that
network onto a totally different physical switch?
Or should I instead setup default routes on the 10.1.0.0/24 network?
I also wanted to follow up on my question below to see if anyone had any thoughts on how
things would function when a portion of the network is lost.

I tested oVirt (4.3? I can't remember) last fall on a single host
(hyperconverged).
Now, I'm getting ready to deploy to a 3 physical node (possibly
4) hyperconverged cluster, and I guess I'll go ahead and go with 4.4.
Although Red Hat's recent shift of CentOS 8 to the Stream model, as well as the
announcement that RHV is going away makes me nervous. I really don't see any other
virtualization software doing quite the same stuff as oVirt at the moment.
One of my questions is around the back end out-of-band network for
data replication.
What happens if all 3 servers are healthy and the normal network is fine for serving
traffic to the VM consumers, but the switching network for data replication goes down? Is
it possible to configure oVirt to "fail over" to the front-end network?
I'm also wondering if its possible to do away with a switch all together, and just
link the physical hosts together directly (like a cross-over cable) for the data
replication.
I'm also wondering what would happen in the following scenario:
- All 3 servers are healthy
- The out-of-band data replication network is healthy
- 1 or 2 of the servers suddenly lost network connectivity on the front-end network
What then? Would everything just keep working, and network traffic be
forced to go out the healthy interface(s) on the remaining hosts?
