[ovirt-users] vdsm keeps removing BOOTPROTO=dhcp from ifcfg-ovirtmgmt

[Jakub Niedermertl]

Hi all,

I'd like my ovirtmgmt bridge to fetch ip address from dhcp, but vdsm keeps removing 'BOOTPROTO=dhcp' from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt.

I set the file as follows:

    DEVICE=ovirtmgmt
    TYPE=Bridge
    DELAY=0
    STP=off
    ONBOOT=yes
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    MTU=1500
    DEFROUTE=no
    NM_CONTROLLED=no
    IPV6INIT=no

call 'sudo systemctl restart network' and ip address is successfully assigned. Then reboot the machine and ip address is not fetched and ifcfg-ovirtmgmt looks like this

    # Generated by VDSM version 4.17.0-1240.git487a19e.fc22
    DEVICE=ovirtmgmt
    TYPE=Bridge
    DELAY=0
    STP=off
    ONBOOT=yes
    MTU=1500
    DEFROUTE=no
    NM_CONTROLLED=no
    IPV6INIT=no
    HOTPLUG=no

Is there any way how to prevent vdsm from removing BOOTPROTO statement or make ovirtmgmt to work with dhcp?

Environment:
Host: runs in virt-manager vm, Fedora 22
vdsm: 4.17.0-1240.git487a19e.fc22 from http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.6-pre/rpm/fc$releasever/

Thanks.
