I'm following this guide:

https://ovirt.org/documentation/metrics-install-guide/Installing_Metrics_Store.html

Specifically, the step "Setup virtual machine static IP and Mac
address".  The deploy does a bunch of stuff automatically, so the first
opportunity I have to do anything is after the VM is already booted.

It seems that having a DHCP server, with matching reverse/forward DNS
entries for each IP, is a requirement, and that there's not a way to set
the metrics store VM to a static IP (despite having to have a DNS entry
pointing to an IP).
