Re: [ovirt-users] Communicate between the guest vm's hosted on, different hosts on different data centres using OVS
Hi Charles, We use an Ethernet cable to connect between the hosts through 10G port. We want to use the guest VM's hosted on different hosts 10G network. oVirt already supports SR-IOV. So we should guest 10G speed for our VM's. In KVM we can create a second bridge and add the 10G interface to the bridge would do the trick. But in oVirt how do we do this? We want to use our OVs network, which was created using OVN Provider.

[ovirt-users] Communicate between the guest vm's hosted on different hosts on different data centres using OVS
Hello, I have configured OVS network on oVirt 4.1.1, following the document https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2016/11/ovirt-provider-ovn/ I have created OVN Provider, and created new Logical Network for OVS using OVN Provider. I have synced the network also selected OVS when I created the cluster. I have two data centres and each data centre has one host each. Now I have created VM's selecting OVS network (not ovirtmgmt). VM's in the same data centre can talk to each other. How do i make the VM's hosted on different data centre can talk to each other? Appreciate your help in advance, Sincerely, Suresh. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] Communicate between the guest vm's hosted on, different hosts on different data centres using OVS
I have created a separate network for 10G network and made central server part of it. After that configured the OVN controller using vdsm-tool vdsm-tool ovn-config Then added OVN provider to oVirt as an external network provider and created a new network based on OVS. Now the new VM's we create use this new network. Thanks for your help!
