Do you mean "deploy a new hosted-engine"? It should create the bridge by itself. Perhaps "Add a host and choose "Deploy" in "hosted engine" tab? It must be in the same cluster as the existing hosted-engine hosts, although I am not sure this is well-documented. I do not think there is a way to cause this process to use a different network/bridge. Please note the distinction. A "network" is an entity in the engine's db (and in vdsm). I can think of the following options, going forward: 1. Give up on the requirement and use 'ovirtmgmt'. Perhaps if you explain your requirements we can come up with a way to do this. 2. Try to come up with a procedure as you are looking for. This will involve at least: - Find all the places in the engine db that have 'ovirtmgmt' and consider changing them. Perhaps better not directly with sql but using the ui/api/sdk, if possible. - Edit on all hosts /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf , while ha agent/broker are down (not only the engine vm) - Probably other stuff, not sure. 3. Try to redeploy from scratch, but with the bridge name you want. Not sure if that's relevant at all and if it will help you, but you can try. The ui does not ask about this, but you can try e.g.: # hosted-engine --deploy --otopi-environment=OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/bridgeName=str:ovirtmgmt_vlan To do this on one of your existing hosts you'll probably need to put it to maintenance and then reinstall the OS.
