That was my first thought, so I tried to set up manually the default route and netmask on the VM to match the engine's, but it didn't solve the problem.

Another network question: I have a second network card on the host that is connected to an internal switch, how do I add a bridge for that card to be used by the VMs ? I created a secondary bridge on the host and then I tried to play with the network options on the oVirt portal, but I couldn't figure out to associate the new bridge with an new network. Before anyone thinks that the two issues are related, I did this after failing to solve the first issue.

It sounds like you don't have a proper default route on the VM or the netmask is set incorrectly,

which can cause a bad route.

Look at differences between the engine's network config (presuming it can reach outside the hypervisor host)

and the VM's config.   The VM should have the same subnet, netmask and default gateway as the engine VM,

if its connected to ovirtmgmt.

"ip a" "ip r" "traceroute" and "ping" are the usual commands to check network connections.

I apologize for asking what is probably a very basic question.

I installed and created a self-hosted engine using cockpit on a server. I can reach the self-hosted engine from anywhere within my network.

I then created a new VM selecting the default ovirtmgmt for the network. The VM does not seem to connect to the network via the bridge. I the used the console to manually configured the network card and I have connectivity between the VM, the engine and the server, but not beyond. What am I doing wrong ? Can someone point to a good documentation page on the subject ?

Thanks in advance,
Valerio
