[ovirt-users] newbie questions on networking

[Rue, Randy]

Hi All,

I'm new to oVirt and have set up a basic cluster of an engine and five 
hosts, using the quick start and default settings as much as possible. I 
confess it's taken some heavy flailing to get this far, the docs all 
seem to be for the previous versions and the latest greatest appears to 
be significantly different. I now have a working data center / cluster 
/hosts and a bouncing baby ubuntu server LTS VM.

My VM is getting a DHCP address and nameservers from the data center the 
hosts sit in. But from the VM I can only ping the IP of the host the VM 
is on. Can't reach the gateway of the local subnet, or anything in the 
real world.

Am I missing some step? the "Quick Start" doesn't say much beyond "The 
ovirtmgmt Management network is used for this document, however if you 
wish to create new logical networks see the oVirt Administration Guide." 
The admin guide has information on creating new networks but I'm not 
spotting the parts I need to connect my VM to the real world. Or how to 
attach another network to the host if all NICs are in use.

Short Version:

* Is some change needed to allow VMs on the ovirtmgmt network to connect 
to the real world? If so, what?

* Is the ovirtmgmt network not meant for "commodity" use, and instead I 
should have some other network? If so, how do I connect that to the real 
LAN/WAN, and how do I replace the ovirtmgmt with it? (my hosts each only 
have two NICs bonded in a pair).


Hope to hear from you,
