[ovirt-devel] [ovirt-users] How to add ovs-based VM in version 4.0.2? Thank you

Tue Aug 2 11:53:16 UTC 2016

Clean == host that has just NICs, like right after system installation
(no networks created by VDSM, bridges, bonds, vlans). Anyway, VDSM OVS
is not able to acquire external NICs yet (the patch is under review
and will be merged to master soon [1]).

I would recommend you to wait for VDSM with mentioned patch merged. If
you cannot wait, you can try to setup ovirtmgmt network manually via
console (turn down NIC, setup OVS network on top of it). Not sure if
this would help you.
