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!
