I'm not sure whether it's the same, but in the past (with v3.1) when configuring the hosts network, it changed it automatically from static -> dhcp, everytime i change network settings i have to ensure to re-tick the static address assignment and tick the box to save the settings (scrolling down) ... hope it helps .. alex On 22 January 2013 12:56, Deepak C Shetty <deepakcs@linux.vnet.ibm.com>wrote:

Hi All, I have a multi-VM setup, where I have ovirt engine on one VM and VDSM host on another. Discovering the host from the engine puts the host in Unassigned state, with the error saying 'ovirtmgmt' network not found.

When i select setupNetworks and drag-drop the ovirtmgmt to setup over eth0, i see the below error in VDSM & host goes to non-operataional state.

I tried the steps mentioned by Alon in http://lists.ovirt.org/** pipermail/users/2012-December/**011257.html<http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-December/011257.html> but still see the same error

This is a known bug with libvirt-1.0.1 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/890492 newly defined network is not marked as persistent http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-December/msg01336.html Either downgrade to 0.10.z or try the posted patches.
