Hi All thanks for the welcome, SysAdmin here, roughly 4 years under my belt, started as helpdesk in a medium sized factory.
Made my way over from spiceworks on good advice from Scott. Looking forward to getting involved in some discussions, broadening my knowledge and maybe even asking for some help!
Cheers,
Luke
FYI
Added MACADDR to both interfaces and set up configs before installing ovirt engine (again) - management network assigned to correct IF after installing host in web console, all sorted.
Appears to be a Linux RDP gateway, see below:
Hi, wondering if anyone can shed some light on following,
setting up oVirt on a fresh centos7 install, so far i've reached being able to login into the web portal and add my host in. After the initial host install, the status goes from up to non-operational after a couple secs - error on the i icon in the hosts view says no default route.
In network setup, the management network "ovirtmgmt" keeps assigning itself to the next unused, disconnected interface on the pcie nic. Initially i only enabled the motherboard interface, then i enabled a single port on the pcie nic (the one it assigned itself initially), after second install it assigned itself to interface 2 on the nic which is disconnected and disabled.
In web portal I've tried detaching ovirtmgmt and dragging it to the default interface but i lose connection to server when resyncing, also tried this with IF 1 on nic. I started over fresh about 4 times already while playing with the IF config files but no look so far.
I'll post up IF configs later when i'm home, just after any pointers if anyone has come across this before?
cheers.

So i have a hp z420 workstation i want to use as a KVM home lab setup, so far i have everything setup bar storage and networking.
I want to replicate as much as possible what a linux shop would do (without necessarily having the hadware). I have an lsi raid card in there with 4 x 500gb drives in raid 10. This will be used as vm storage, is currently GPT, formatted as EXT4
What storage type should i be using - i've seen people using volume groups for thin provisioning (LVM?), i know ovirt uses nfs.
would it be wise to use nfs, sharing and mounting the shares locally? Basically looking for exposure to as much as possible, i know i could just leave it as is.
@travisdh1 ahhh, i had a feeling that was going to be the answer :persevering_face:. Thanks tho, i'll definitely check this out!
