setup ovirtmgmt network with static ip via vdsm-client

setup_ovirtmgmt.sh

echo '{"bondings": {}, "networks": {"ovirtmgmt": {"nic": "eth0", "netmask": "255.255.255.0", "ipaddr": "1.1.1.2", "gateway": "1.1.1.1", "defaultRoute": true}}, "options": {"connectivityCheck": false}}' | vdsm-client -f - Host setupNetworks
vdsm-client Host setSafeNetworkConfig

Tons of thanks! Was very helpful for me today in datacenter!
I don't know what I will do without this script.

Also, today I created repo with my ovirtctl script.
https://github.com/danykey/ovirtctl
Hope that it save time for somebody in the future.

Thanks!

Thanks for reminding me this exists, glad to help :)

Hi Petr,

Can you please advice me on the following, Thank you in advance.

I am trying to use this utility to set up the ovirtmgmt over a VLAN interface (eno1.2).

echo '{"networks": {"ovirtmgmt": {"nic": "eno1", "bridged": true, "vlan": 2, "ipaddr": "192.168.81.241", "netmask": "255.255.255.240", "defaultRoute": false}}, "bondings": {}, "options": {"connectivityCheck": false}}' | vdsm-client -f - Host setupNetworks

ISSUE: The vdsm-client set the ifcfg-eno1.2 and ifcfg-ovirtmgmt configuration as desired. But it also overwrites my configuration in ifcfg-eno1 which is not desired. Is there a way I can block vdsm form doing this?

[root@atghost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1.2

Hello @raoravin. IIRIC, VDSM owns the networking on its hosts, If you configure a network on top of eno1, it will become owned by it. I would advice you not to fight it and to use VDSM setupNetworks to configure your interface into your desired state explicitly. If it does not solve your issue, I'd recommend you to send your question to users@ovirt.org. Maybe there is another way.

@phoracek Hi, Why did I specify mode=1 and actually mode=0?

echo '{
  "bondings": {
    "bond1": {
      "nics": ["ens34", "ens38"],
      "mode": 1
    }
  },
  "networks": {
    "mgmtnet": {
      "bonding": "bond1",
      "bootproto": "static",
      "ipaddr": "10.17.38.33",
      "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
      "gateway": "10.17.38.1", 
      "defaultRoute": true
    }
  },
  "options": {
    "connectivityCheck": false
  }
}' | vdsm-client -f - Host setupNetworks

vdsm-client Host setSafeNetworkConfig

@thissuper hey. I don't know why you used mode 1. AFAIK you can select any of the supported modes.

@phoracek I read redhat documentation, ovirt should support mode 1. Did I make a mistake in my json?
Very confused, I think you may know, so consult you.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. When you apply the JSON you shared above, does it fail?

Sorry, I was busy with other things these days, so I couldn't reply to you in time.

I am binding the network configuration of the ovirt host to make the ens192 interface and ens224 interface bonding1, but it is actually bonding0. Did I make a mistake in my json?

English is not my native language, so it may not be accurate enough. Please see shell below

[root@node-1 ~]# echo '{
  "bondings": {
    "bond1": {
      "nics": ["ens192", "ens224"],
      "mode": 1
    }
  },
