[ovirt-users] "Cannot acquire bridge address" / Failure in "hosted-engine --deploy" on 4.1.8

Hi, when running "hosted-engine --deploy" on a fresh CentOS 7.4 with pre-built network configuration (and ovirtmgmt bridge), the following error occurs: 2017-11-27 19:08:12 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:142 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/scripts/../plugins/gr-he-common/network/bridge.py", line 295, in _get_hostname_from_bridge_if raise RuntimeError(_('Cannot acquire bridge address')) RuntimeError: Cannot acquire bridge address While checking the source of bridge.py line 295 the root cause is interesting: Running "vdsClient -s $HOSTNAME getVdsCapabilities" works perfectly, all NICs and bridges are returned, but only "networks" is returned as empty list: {}. Clearly looks like a bug. How can I resolve this issue? ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.1.4-1.el7.centos.noarch vdsm-4.19.40-1.el7.centos.x86_64 Regards - Frank
