Hi,

I setup oVirt a few years back…  now that the HCI is real, I am revisiting it.  I have deployed with Gluster, and am now moving on to networking.

I come from a VMware shop and normally we trunk all the network ports exposing all VLANs to the hosts and place VMs in Portgoups that are tagged with VLANs.

I did manage to do this years back but I am struggling to get this to work today.  I had pretty limited hardware back then and I thought I installed using vlan tagging and trunked ports, but I don’t see any  option to do this using the glusterfs and hosted engine setup.

Each host has a dual port 10Gb NICs  I use one for storage that is connected to my storage network and one for ovirtmgmt.  (I need to add another of these for redundancy down the road, but no money for that at the moment)

The hosts also have 4 x 1Gb ports. So in lieu of being able to configure vlan tagging to trunked ports on hosted engine deploy, I am considering cabling up a 1 Gb port on each in my management services VLAN and when it is all up and running create another logical network (or several of them as I think these equate to what is a vlan tagged port group in VMware) with the 10Gb NIC backing for VMs.

Does that sound reasonable?  Or if anyone can point me to any docs that describe how to deploy to a specific VLAN with trunk ports, that would be nice as well as I won’t have to actually go to the office and run additional cables.

Appreciate any advice

Bill
