It seems to be failing on adding the ovirtmgmt bridge to the interface defined on the host as part of the
host addition installation process.   I had this issue during a hosted-engine install when ovirtmgmt was on a tagged
port which was already configured with a chosen name not supported by the ovirt installation scripts.
After I reconfigured the network config with the correct style name, I was able to install hosted engine on CentOS8.
Check if ovirtmgmt exists on the host you're trying to add to your ovirt installation, note which interface should
have that network bridge added.

In my case, the network port needed to be configured in the form of eno1.## where ## was the vlan number, replace en01 with correct ethernet interface.
Similar issues could happen if you're using a bond named something other than what the installation scripts expect (bond.#).

Its a little confusing, but there are actually two different places to 'edit' a host's config from engine.
The obvious one is 'edit host' but the feature to set networks per device or configure host devices for passthrough
is under the other (almost hidden) area of the engine web UI.

Under the engine UI, try to set the non-op host into 'maintenance' and then click on the hostname in compute:hosts page, and then networks tab
and then 'setup host networks' and to try to add it by dragging it from the right hand side of the page to the correct interface on the left
and saving it.  If you're defining any other logical networks you'll need to get to that page per host  to set them up.

Hi all,

I am standing up a brand new cluster on new hardware.

The ovirt controller is installed and appears to be running fine.

When I attempt to add the new host, I get the flag that says "Non Operational", and the exclamation mark with the message "Host has no default route".

I have confirmed that I have bidirectional ssh connections between the controller and the new host.

Selinux is disabled.

Firewall is disabled.

I can get to the host console via the link in the GUI Compute|Hosts page.

This looks like a common symptom of a host of problems, but there is nothing to readily indicate what the actual problem is.

In the ovirt-engine log, I found this entry: "Host 'ovirt-host-03' is set to Non-Operational, it is missing the following networks: 'ovirtmgmt'"

This seems self-explanatory, but I see no way to add the missing network to the host.

Thank you in advance for your help

Regards,
David Johnson
