My recommendation is that you just set up non-NM-controlled static network using your public /32. Then the hosted-engine --deploy process should take that config and apply it to ovirtmgmt bridge. At least, that's what happened for me when I did it. I don't think you need to set up the ovirtmgmt bridge manually.

As for the /29 -- don't worry about it now, that would be a routing issue you can apply later. Is it the same network as the /32? Or is it a different network?
