I have installed a hosted engine setup on a single host. The host is running CentOS 7 and the engine is Centos 6.6. Prior to running through the engine deployment, I created the ifcfg-ovirtmgmt file and set my primary network interface, "eno1", as part of that bridge. I did this because when I have attempted deployment in the past, the deployment ran into some problems creating the 'ovirtmgmt' bridge. I do recall during the deployment script, the output did indicate that it saw the 'ovirtmgmt' bridge was already present. The deployment *seemed* to go OK. Upon logging in to the admin portal, my host is not initialised; it has a red "X". The error indicated that the "ovirtmgmt" bridge was not assigned to an interface. When I click on the host then "Network Interfaces", all my network interfaces are showing red "down" arrows (which makes sense if the host is not initialised). When I click on "Setup Network Interfaces", it lists my physical interfaces on the left and on the right, under "Unassigned Logical networks" is "ovirtmgmt". I Assigned "ovirtmgmt" to interface "eno1", but when I click "OK", I get the following message: --- START --- Error while executing action: hosted_engine_1: * Network address must be specified when using static ip --- END --- I tried to edit "ovirtmgmt" and assign the static IP, but the same error comes up. Here are my files for 'ifcfg-eno1' and 'ifcfg-ovirtmgmt': --- START ifcfg-ovirtmgmt --- TYPE="Bridge" BOOTPROTO="static" DEVICE="ovirtmgmt" ONBOOT="yes" DELAY="0" IPADDR="10.215.1.21" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" GATEWAY="10.215.1.1" --- END ifcfg-ovirtmgmt --- --- START ifcfg-eno1 --- TYPE="Ethernet" BOOTPROTO="none" DEVICE="eno1" ONBOOT="yes" BRIDGE="ovirtmgmt" --- END ifcfg-eno1 --- Here is the output of 'brctl show': --- START --- bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces ;vdsmdummy; 8000.000000000000 no ovirtmgmt 8000.fc4dd4f2e238 no eno1 vnet0 --- END --- It appears that the bridge exists, but the system (VDSM?) is not recognising it nor able to create it. Any ideas what the issue is? If you need a look at something else, please let me know. I may not be able to post it until later (my server is remote to me until Wednesday so I won;t have immediate access), but I will post whatever else you need to have a look at. Thanks! :-) -Alan
