[ovirt-users] Network setup for load balance

[Martin Pavlík]

Hi Carlos,

you figured it yourself, the fastest/easiest way will be to deploy ovirt again. This time set the bonding manually before deployment and tie the management to the bond you create.

You did not mention what bond mode you want to use, please note that not all bond modes are supported for VM networks. You’ve mentioned that you are after load balancing, in this case you can use  mode=2(balance-xor), or mode=4(802.3ad) however mode 4 requires switch side support/configuration.

I installed oVirt 3.5.1 using the hosted-engine option with CentOS 7 on the hosted-engine and the host, and gluster on the host for the domain storage. Everything was fine during the installation and the system seems to work properly. ovirtmgmt is linked to em1.
