Hi, I was installing the VDSM packaging following this link: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm
It seems that the network configuration section is not correct. In this wiki page, the static IP is assigned to the host network interface like eth0, em1 and the outing interface of the bridge is attached to the same host interface. However, it didn't work in my server. After moving the static IP into the bridge script *"ifcfg-ovirtmgmt*", the network configuration is OK now. I was wondering if it was someone's typo to write this wiki. See the change in below:
Add the following content into a new file named: */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt*:
DEVICE=ovirtmgmt TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp
*---> Should be changed to:*
DEVICE=ovirtmgmt TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Add the following line into the configuration file of your out going interface (usually em1/eth0) the file is located at: */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1* (assuming the device is em1)
BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt
Full Example
DEVICE=em1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.212 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt
---> should be changed to
DEVICE=em1 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt
You are (almost) correct. If connected to a bridge device, the NIC should normally not have an IP address of its own. So the IPADDR, NETMASK -- and I believe the BOOTPROTO too -- should be dropped.
If the Wiki page is not good enough after my recent editing, please be bold and fix it!
