Hi everyone, my name’s Matteo and I’m a new oVirt user.

I’m trying to install the gluster hyperconverged solution in a lab environment following the How-To wrote by Jason Brooks:

https://ovirt.org/blog/2017/04/up-and-running-with-ovirt-4.1-and-gluster-storage/

Sadly, I cannot understand how to configure the network on the self-hosted engine and I’m unable to make it available from outside the host.

As written in the HowTo I created three hosts (ovirt-note 4.1.7) each one with two nics, one for gluster and one for management, the network is a static LAN with FQDN resolvable (also reverse) by a local DNS. Here the details:

Gateway: 172.16.1.1

DNS: 172.16.1.12

Host1: 172.16.1.210 (management) – 172.16.2.210 (gluster)

Host2: 172.16.1.220 (management) – 172.16.2.220 (gluster)

Host3: 172.16.1.230 (management) – 172.16.2.230 (gluster)

Engine: 172.16.1.200

When installing the engine I choose to brigde the management’s nic (172.16.1.210) of host1 but, once the installation is completed, I'm unable to reach the engine from the LAN where the hosts are connected. The engine (172.16.1.200) can ping only host1 (172.16.1.210) and only host1 can ping the engine.

As far as my network knowledge goes, to make the engine available from the outside of host1 I would need to use a third nic or to use some device to associate the ip and MAC address of the engine’s nic.

I’ve looked around over the internet for a solution but every how-to I’ve found follows the same steps of Jason’s.  I’ve also already asked for help to Jason.

Anyone could help me to solve this issue?

 

Thank you

 

Matteo
