[ovirt-users] Multiple NICs on hosted engine?

[Darrell Budic]

It’s probably unsupported, but I have found you can edit the /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf file to add a nic.

I duplicated the existing "devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr” line and modified the macAddr and deviceId entries.

Be sure you modify this file on ALL of your ha engine hosts. Then shutdown your running engine, let ha-agent restart it (hosted-engine —vm-start works fine too) and you’ve got two nics.
