Hello, you mean you want to create a network where no other virtual machines are communicating, except from the two ones you created? You need to create a new logical network, not on external provider, but internally, with a new VLAN ID (if sharing the same interface of other networks). Then you need to associate this network to the network interfaces of each host. Ensure also the vlan id you specified is configured on the switches where your hosts are connected.

Hi all,

Obligatory I'm not sure if this is the right place to post and obligatory I am very new here. I could really use some help. I'd like to build an isolated/external network so that I can build two VMs that need to interact with each other and each other alone while they are being built. I'd like to protect them from interacting with other VMs I have and I'd like to protect my other VMs from interacting with them.

I attempt to create this network by going to Network > Networks > New, and I make sure to click the "create on external provider" checkbox and select "Disabled" under the "Network Port Security" drop-down menu. When I click "ok" I get the error message:

"Error while executing this action: User is not authorized to perform this action".

This isn't an issue, I just went to the super user and had him try the same thing, and he gets this error message:

"Error while executing action AddNetworkOnProvider: Failed to communicate with the external provider, see logs for additional details".

The oVirt log wasn't that helpful, as it just told me the time oVirt failed to create the network. Neither my super user nor I can figure out why this is happening. Would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.
