Hi, thanks for the response.. I have only worked with the GUI on the host so far, but I am will watch this and also the previous posters pointer - I will obviously have to start working with the hosts and config files sooner or later and I have worked with Linux for many years, so should be too hard to get rolling, thanks again.
well, my hope is you won't have to fiddle with the host, rather should be able to do all of this from the gui. a bridge should be auto created if you attach a network which is a "vm network". bridge is required for vm connectivity, but incurs overhead, so for management/storage/migration networks you can avoid it in some cases.

Hi - I am a complete newb at Ovirt, but have setup my Ovirt manager and a host and connected them together.
I am basically looking to replicate in my lab with Ovirt what a simple VMware installation is doing.
I would like a single network or in vmware terms a vswitch, with two network cards in the node, both connected to trunked ports so that I can create port groups with different vlans, one for management, and one for VMs and possibly a DMZ vlan.
I have tried bonding the network interfaces, but there is also a bridge option and I don't know what that does. I have read the ovirt docs on bonded interfaces and they are a little bit terse to actually get me started on this.
bonding them where? from the hosts or from the gui? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EMrqQR-f3w (around 1:30 minutes from start)
If there is a better guide, or simple explanation to get me over this hurdle I would appreciate it. Sorry for all the vmware terms as well, but I have worked with vmware for many years and it's the only virtual environment I know really well - but with their pricing models, I really need to start looking around now!
Thanks very much!
