That may be a typo on my part.  When building an ovirt host I always
have to set up networking manually after installing the OS and then
reconfigure the networks through the engine using the GUI. 
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a simpler way to set up
networking with bonded interfaces and VLAN tagging.
