[ovirt-users] Self hosted single server network requirements

[Mark Steckel]

Thanks all who have responded so far.

Advice so far seems to be:
* Use 'screen' when deploying. Easy
* Don't use/disable Network-Manager. Easy
* Preconfigure the ovirtmgmt bridge. I've got questions...

The server has a public /32 as the primary IP, and a public /29 which will be used for the VMs.

Besides creating the ovirtmgmt bridge is there anything specific for how I should configure it?

Thanks
Mark
