Is it mandatory to have fixed IP addres for eth0, for installtion of OVirt

Dear All, As for experimental purpose I have done OVirt installation on CentOS 6.6 and it was success. Till now before installation of OVirt, I used to make the eth0 IP permanent and then install Now I have need to take the machine to different places to demo and discuss about the installation, In this case I need to keep my eth0 on DHCP. Was wondering whether the fixed IP address of eth0 is mandatory or can I use dhcp for the host machine, before installing Ovirt thanks Joseph John

Hi John, You can use DHCP on eth0 before installing ovirt. On 05/10/2015 09:25 AM, John Joseph wrote:

There are issues with NetworkManager but mere dhcp works. Best, -- Didi
