Hi Joshua,

Hi,
I'm in the process of installing 3.4 RC(2?) on Fedora 19. I'm using hosted engine, introspective GlusterFS+keepalived+NFS ala [1], across six nodes.
I have a layered networking topology ((V)LANs for public, internal, storage, compute and ipmi). I am comfortable doing the bridging for each interface myself via /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*.
Here's my desired topology: http://www.asciiflow.com/#Draw6325992559863447154
Here's my keepalived setup: https://gist.github.com/josh-at-knoesis/98618a16418101225726
I'm writing a lot of documentation of the many steps I'm taking. I hope to eventually release a distributed introspective all-in-one (including distributed storage) guide.
Looking at vm.conf.in <http://vm.conf.in>, it looks like I'd by default end up with one interface on my engine, probably on my internal VLAN, as that's where I'd like the control traffic to flow. I definitely could do NAT, but I'd be most happy to see the engine have a presence on all of the LANs, if for no other reason than because I want to send backups directly over the storage VLAN.
I'll cut to it: I believe I could successfully alter the vdsm template (vm.conf.in <http://vm.conf.in>) to give me the extra interfaces I require. It hit me, however, that I could just take the defaults for the initial install. Later, I think I'll be able to come back with virsh and make my changes to the gracefully disabled VM. Is this true?

Thanks, Joshua
I started from the same reference[1] and ended up "statically" modifying vm.conf.in before launching setup, like this:
cp -a /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in.orig cat << EOM > /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in vmId=@VM_UUID@ memSize=@MEM_SIZE@ display=@CONSOLE_TYPE@ devices={index:2,iface:ide,address:{ controller:0, target:0,unit:0, bus:1, type:drive},specParams:{},readonly:true,deviceId:@CDROM_UUID@,path:@CDROM@,device:cdrom,shared:false,type:disk@BOOT_CDROM@} devices={index:0,iface:virtio,format:raw,poolID:@SP_UUID@,volumeID:@VOL_UUID@,imageID:@IMG_UUID@,specParams:{},readonly:false,domainID:@SD_UUID@,optional:false,deviceId:@IMG_UUID@,address:{bus:0x00, slot:0x06, domain:0x0000, type:pci, function:0x0},device:disk,shared:exclusive,propagateErrors:off,type:disk@BOOT_DISK@} devices={device:scsi,model:virtio-scsi,type:controller} devices={index:4,nicModel:pv,macAddr:@MAC_ADDR@,linkActive:true,network:@BRIDGE@,filter:vdsm-no-mac-spoofing,specParams:{},deviceId:@NIC_UUID@,address:{bus:0x00, slot:0x03, domain:0x0000, type:pci, function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface@BOOT_PXE@} devices={index:8,nicModel:pv,macAddr:02:16:3e:4f:c4:b0,linkActive:true,network:lan,filter:vdsm-no-mac-spoofing,specParams:{},address:{bus:0x00, slot:0x09, domain:0x0000, type:pci, function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface@BOOT_PXE@} devices={device:console,specParams:{},type:console,deviceId:@CONSOLE_UUID@,alias:console0} vmName=@NAME@ spiceSecureChannels=smain,sdisplay,sinputs,scursor,splayback,srecord,ssmartcard,susbredir smp=@VCPUS@ cpuType=@CPU_TYPE@ emulatedMachine=@EMULATED_MACHINE@ EOM
Note that you should also be able to edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf after setup: - put the system in global maintenance - edit the vm.conf file on all the hosts running the hosted engine - shutdown the vm: hosted-engine --vm-shutdown - start again the vm: hosted-engine --vm-start - exit global maintenance
Giuseppe, Joshua: can you share your changes in a guide for Hosted engine users on ovirt.org wiki?
So would you simply just add a new line under the original devices line? ie. devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:6d:34:78,linkActive:true,network:ovirtmgmt,filter:vdsm-no-mac-spoofing,specParams:{},deviceId:0c8a1710-casd-407a-94e8-5b09e55fa141,address:{bus:0x00, slot:0x03, domain:0x0000, type:pci, function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}
Are there any good practices for getting the mac addr so it won't be possible to clash with ones vdsm would generate? I assume the same applies for deviceid? Did you also change the slot?
This worked successfully: yum -y install python-virtinst # generate uuid and mac address echo 'import virtinst.util ; print virtinst.util.uuidToString(virtinst.util.randomUUID())' | python echo 'import virtinst.util ; print virtinst.util.randomMAC()' | python hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global nano /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf # insert under earlier nicModel # replace macaddress and uuid from above # increment slot (so it's not the same as above nicModel) # modify ovirtmgmt to desired bridge interface devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:35:87:7d,linkActive:true,network:storage_network,filter:vdsm-no-mac-spoofing,specParams:{},deviceId:4c32c036-0e5a-e0b3-9ba7-bg3dfzbs40ae,address:{bus:0x00,slot:0x04, domain:0x0000, type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface} hosted-engine --vm-shutdown hosted-engine --vm-start hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none However, this won't get propagated to any additional hosts that are installed. I'm guessing it may be this file /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in that gets copied for new installs, but I don't have any new hosts to test with right now.
I simply added a second nic (with a fixed MAC address from the locally-administered pool, since I didn't know how to auto-generate one) and added an index for nics too (mimicking the the storage devices setup already present).
My network setup is much simpler than yours: ovirtmgmt bridge is on an isolated oVirt-management-only network without gateway, my actual LAN with gateway and Internet access (for package updates/installation) is connected to lan bridge and the SAN/migration LAN is a further (not bridged) 10 Gib/s isolated network for which I do not expect to need Engine/VMs reachability (so no third interface for Engine) since all actions should be performed from Engine but only through vdsm hosts (I use a "split-DNS" setup by means of carefully crafted hosts files on Engine and vdsm hosts)
I can confirm that the engine vm gets created as expected and that network connectivity works.
Unfortunately I cannot validate the whole design yet, since I'm still debugging HA-agent problems that prevent a reliable Engine/SD startup.
Hope it helps.
Greetings, Giuseppe
