[ovirt-users] Cannot sync networks

[Roderick Mooi]

Hi Alona

Thanks but this is what I already tried between steps 5 and 6 - when I
click “ok” it tries to sync and eventually seems to give up and roll back.
Will it help if I uncheck “verify engine to host connectivity”? (I’m
surprised that the verification fails as technically the network I’m trying
to set is the one that is currently being used by the host and engine - all
I want to do is update the DC to match….)

Regards,

Roderick
