<div>I am incredibly sorry over this noob question but I am really bashing my head trying to simply change an IP address on an Ovirt host. oVirt was pushed to this host through the server web interface. It is running on top of Centos 7.</div>

<div>The server can reach everything on the network fine. Although it cannot be reached through the oVirt web interface and the host is in a “connecting” status. In the oVirt web interface if I attempt to edit the NIC settings from DHCP to Static
to reflect the changes Ive made above I run into this error:</div>

Well, if you've added the host via its fqdn, you could modify its DNS entry in parallel to modifying its local address, but that is not fun either.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd suggest to remove the host from Engine, remove on-host network configuration (in ovirt-4.2 that would be possible to be done via `vdsm-tool remove-nets`. At the moment, you'd have to edit ifcfg and not reboot), and re-add the host via a new address.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps.
