[ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 & NAT

How does one add multiple custom properties ? tried:
engine-config -s CustomDeviceProperties='{type=interface;prop={vlan=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}}{type=interface;prop={bridge=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}}'
but ended up with one call vlan and the other prop :) If can add vlan and bridge then should be able to use a vNIC profile for adding an interface directly to OVS using a custom hook.
Thanks, Phil

Well, in fact have got something to work now! Left ovirtmgmt and em1 alone but ran:
$ ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0
$ ip link add name veth0 type veth peer name veth1
$ brctl addif ovirtmgmt veth0
$ ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr veth1
$ ip add add XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/29 dev veth1
$ ip link set veth0 up && ip link set veth1 up
and now veth1 is responding as-well as veth0.
ovs-vsctl show
08554d11-3ba7-4303-b9d5-6a09f23c9057
Bridge "ovsbr0"
Port "veth1"
Interface "veth1"
Port "ovsbr0"
Interface "ovsbr0"
type: internal
so what I think should do now is create a custom parameter on the Engine Manager that allows one to define an OVS bridge name and VLAN so when a virtual guest is created it can be assigned to the new bridge; with the use of a custom hook.
Thanks, Phil

Darn, looks like this will not work :( the problem is that oVirt creates the bridge ovirtmgmt and binds that to your interface eg. em1. So at that point you have network running. If you then try to add that to the OVS stack your networking stop :( I tried to add it as a port using ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 ovirtmgmt which is accepted but then networking stops. As soon as I remove again networking comes back to life. There does not seem to be a way to have two co-existing bridges :( Thanks, Phil

exactly! You could just make a hook script that runs an after_network_setup
hook that does the ovs-vsctl for you ;-)
Here you can see the presentation I gave last February at devconf about extending
with configurators and hooks.
http://blog.antoni.me/devconf14/#/8/1
I linked directly to a before_network_setup hook sample, because it works just like
the after_network_setup hook. Instead of logging to systemd, just add that if
'remove' is not in data and network == 'ovirtmgmt', it adds the network bridge to
the vswitch with python's subprocess.call or subprocess.check_output.
You can send it if you want me to take a look ;-)
PS: It is possible to write the hooks in bash, c, perl, etc. But we only have the
convenience read_json methods and such for python. If you wanted to, you could have
a simple bash hook that just checked if there was an ovirtmgmt bridge and it would
add it doing ovs-vsctl in the before_vdsm_start hooking point. That would have the
drawback that changing the ovirtmgmt bridge with oVirt UI would leave it disconnected
again.
