I installed a new 10GbE NIC after installing the oVirt engine, and upon reboot vdsm began
auto-configuring one of the ports on the new NIC rather than the original 1GbE interface.
The new NIC is not currently connected to anything, so I am wondering how to force vdsm to
use the 1GbE NIC until I install and connect the server to a 10GbE switch. This is
causing the data center and host in the Administration Portal to show as
"non-operational," though I can still log in.
I have been poring over any files I can find on the server relating to
"ovirtmgmt" or "vdsm," and I am wondering if I simply change the
"nic" parameter to the name of the 1GbE interface in the following file that
reloading vdsmd or rebooting will cause it to behave the way I want:
/var/lib/vdsm/persistence/netconf/nets/ovirtmgmt
Any insight on this? Are there other locations that need to be edited to force vdsm to
use, say, "eth0" rather than "eth3"? Are there files that I need to
delete so vdsm will automatically re-create them?
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
