Hosted-Engine with only 1-IP

Hello, one question from a beginner. The case, i rent a server with 1 public IP-Address. Is it possible to setup oVirt as Hosted-Engine via ssh and vnc remote with only 1 public IP-Address, or need i a second public IP-Address for the engine? Perhaps its about an host entriy or something like this possible?! Thx

hosted-engine setup will let you choose one of the existing interfaces and it will create a bridge over that. The nic of the VMs you are going to start will be attached to that bridge: I'm not that sure that the service provide which rent you the server will let you freely use your server nic in bridged mode without killing all the spoofed trfinc from your VMs. If so as I think, another option is to deploy hosted-engine over a second network interface or a dummy interface with private addressing. In that case, configuring the NAT rules between your single public IP address and the internal network you are going to create for your VMs will be completely up to you.

Hi, What are you trying to accomplish? Hosted engine is a special case where the management is itself just a VM that can be migrated across the cluster. But it does not make much sense when you only have one server. But to describe the requirements: You should generally have a network subnet for all your hosts. The hosted engine VM needs to be able to access it. The regular VMs do not necessarily need it, but I guess they need some way to reach the network if you want internet access. The engine needs to talk to all virtualization hosts (nodes) The engine also needs to have predictable IP address and dns name so the nodes can reach it. The admin needs to be able to connect to the engine and should be able to connect to the VNC/spice console of all VMs. The hosts need to be able to talk to each other, preferably on the L2 level. I assume you might be able to use local network addresses for your virtualization hosts, but that seems like a lot of tweaking to make it right.
