Hi: Some more updates. While running the hosted-engine --deploy, it seems like the VM is created, and still get stuck at the line [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Get local VM IP] I opened up another terminal and run brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces ;vdsmdummy; 8000.000000000000 no ovirtmgmt 8000.525400da358f no eth0 virbr0 8000.5254002d053d yes virbr0-nic vnet0 Looks like the engine vm's network interface is connected to the default NAT network bridge of virbr0! When selecting the interface to bridge ovirtmgmt I specifically choose 'eth0'. I'm very sure I didn't choose anything but eth0 as I've been trying for many times already. But why vnet0 is bridged to virbr0? regards, Bong SF
