Re: [Users] oVirt in PAT - NAT environment

Hi René, I don´t have a second NIC, only a public on eth0. So, if I understood correctly, Neutron is not part of oVirt, but needs to be installed a part. I need to use the All-in-one version of oVirt, so I need to install Neutron on this same host? Any additional advice? ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- Von: "René Koch" <rkoch@linuxland.at> An: "relaxibus" <relaxibus@akfree.it> CC: "Assaf Muller" <amuller@redhat.com>, users@ovirt.org Gesendet: Montag, 10.

Here's a documentation on how to setup Neutron: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Neutron_Integration Regards, René On 03/10/2014 02:43 PM, Jarno Puff wrote:
Hi Assaf,
thanks for the answer.
the data center where my server reside is a server4you.net, so all what you get is a dedicated server and a public IP, thats it. You don´t have a "private" network via a NIC, the only access to the server is via the public IP.
Ok, let´s try Neutron. Where can I find details on this? How to enable it and how to configure it?
Anyone could also give me advices on how to setup the iptables on my server for correct DNAT and port forwarding to VMs? I would like to try boths.

Hello folks,
Hi!
I know, this is a topic where you have spend a lots of words, but, after installing oVirt 3.3 and 3.4 on CentOS and let goign google search engine to become hot, I don´t found any solution for my environment.
My environment:
- dedicated server at "server4you.net" with CentOS 6 - Main IP (public) 82.25.xx.yy - Addon IP (public) 62.75.xx.yy
What I will do:
- create VMs on a private network 192.x.y.z - talk to the internet from the VMs (NAT) - reach the VMs from the internet (PAT) - reach the VMs via SSH from the host server
oVirt doesn't have built-in support for NAT. What you can do is either: 1) Define PAT on the data center edge router. For accessing VMS from the outside you can either define port forwarding or DNAT. As for reaching the VMs from your dedicated server, the easiest approach would be ensuring that the server has a leg in the private network.
2) You might want to try the oVirt Neutron integration. In Neutron you can create arbitrary private networks and VMs will get IPs from a DHCP server created in Neutron. You can then define a 'floating ip', which is a mapping between the VM's private IP and an allocated public IP on your public network. Neutron will do the DNAT for you.
The oVirt Neutron integration in the recent 3.4 release [1] greatly improved the integration and it now includes IP address management, so you'll be able to do *nearly* everything from the oVirt GUI.

I found some "workarounds", but no one was easy to implement or the infos was not cobering all the aspects.
I have seen the possibility to use a "hook", but no user guide and step by step instruction found.
Looking forward to get a working solution :-)
Cheers,
