Hi,
I was installing the VDSM packaging following this link:

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!
