[ovirt-users] Re: engine setup fails: error creating bridge interface virbr0: File exists - ?

Hi, maybe you should do virsh net-undefine default virsh net-destroy default And maybe there is some change in Libvirt and ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup doesn’t cleanup default network (which results in virbr0 interface) (and at the same time this Ansible code is not idempotent) BR, Konstantin P.S.

While installation script takes care of some cleanup, I would say that you should consider doing ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup ,checking that virbr0 is absent in ‘ip a’ output and trying once again BR, Konstantin Von: lejeczek via Users <users@ovirt.org><mailto:users@ovirt.org> Antworten an: lejeczek <peljasz@yahoo.co.uk><mailto:peljasz@yahoo.co.uk> Datum: Donnerstag, 11.

Hi guys. I'm trying to setup the engine on the latest stable ovirt node(in a VM), so a clean, vanilla-default system. -> $ hosted-engine --deploy --4 ... [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Activate default libvirt network] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": ["virsh", "net-start", "default"], "delta": "0:00:00.042134", "end": "2023-05-11 11:08:59.248405", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-05-11 11:08:59.206271", "stderr": "error: Failed to start network default\nerror: error creating bridge interface virbr0: File exists", "stderr_lines": ["error: Failed to start network default", "error: error creating bridge interface virbr0: File exists"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed getting local_vm_dir ... Any & all suggestions on how to fix/troubleshoot this are much appreciated. many thanks, L. No, it is a clean install of oVirt node in a KVM guest/VM. All I do in the node is I configure two ifaces and both are "regular" ethernets, then I start HE setup. Bare-metal host is Centos 9 Stream with everything up-to-dayte off the distro repos. I'd think this should be easily reproducible. ps. please keep replies to the bottom - this is not a conversion between two of us nor any two persons, Mailing to list - think of it a book, which always reads top-to-bottom. many thanks, L.
