5. Configure the logical network:
   1. Hover your cursor over an assigned logical network and click the pencil icon to open the Edit Management Network window.
   2. From the IPv4 tab, select a Boot Protocol from None, DHCP, or Static. If you selected Static, enter the IP, Netmask / Routing Prefix, and the Gateway.

      Note

      Each logical network can have a separate gateway defined from the management network gateway. This ensures traffic that arrives on the logical network will be forwarded using the logical network's gateway instead of the default gateway used by the management network.

      Note

      The IPv6 tab should not be used as it is currently not supported.
   3. Use the QoS tab to override the default host network quality of service. Select Override QoS and enter the desired values in the following fields:
      • Weighted Share: Signifies how much of the logical link's capacity a specific network should be allocated, relative to the other networks attached to the same logical link. The exact share depends on the sum of shares of all networks on that link. By default this is a number in the range 1-100.
      • Rate Limit [Mbps]: The maximum bandwidth to be used by a network.
      • Committed Rate [Mbps]: The minimum bandwidth required by a network. The Committed Rate requested is not guaranteed and will vary depending on the network infrastructure and the Committed Rate requested by other networks on the same logical link.
      For more information on configuring host network quality of service see Section 3.3, “Host Network Quality of Service”
   4. To configure a network bridge, click the Custom Properties tab and select bridge_opts from the drop-down list. Enter a valid key and value with the following syntax: key=value. Separate multiple entries with a whitespace character. The following keys are valid, with the values provided as examples. For more information on these parameters, see Section B.1, “Explanation of bridge_opts Parameters”.

      forward_delay=1500
      gc_timer=3765
      group_addr=1:80:c2:0:0:0
      group_fwd_mask=0x0
      hash_elasticity=4
      hash_max=512
      hello_time=200
      hello_timer=70
      max_age=2000
      multicast_last_member_count=2
      multicast_last_member_interval=100
      multicast_membership_interval=26000
      multicast_querier=0
      multicast_querier_interval=25500
      multicast_query_interval=13000
      multicast_query_response_interval=1000
      multicast_query_use_ifaddr=0
      multicast_router=1
      multicast_snooping=1
      multicast_startup_query_count=2
      multicast_startup_query_interval=3125

   5. To configure ethernet properties, click the Custom Properties tab and select ethtool_opts from the drop-down list. Enter a valid value using the format of the command-line arguments of ethtool. For example:

      --coalesce em1 rx-usecs 14 sample-interval 3 --offload em2 rx on lro on tso off --change em1 speed 1000 duplex half

      This field can accept wildcards. For example, to apply the same option to all of this network's interfaces, use:

      --coalesce * rx-usecs 14 sample-interval 3

      The ethtool_opts option is not available by default; you need to add it using the engine configuration tool. See Section B.2, “How to Set Up Red Hat Virtualization Manager to Use Ethtool” for more information. For more information on ethtool properties, see the manual page by typing man ethtool in the command line.
   6. To configure Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), click the Custom Properties tab and select fcoe from the drop-down list. Enter a valid key and value with the following syntax: key=value. At least enable=yes is required. You can also add dcb=[yes|no] and auto_vlan=[yes|no]. Separate multiple entries with a whitespace character. The fcoe option is not available by default; you need to add it using the engine configuration tool. See Section B.3, “How to Set Up Red Hat Virtualization Manager to Use FCoE” for more information.

      Note

      A separate, dedicated logical network is recommended for use with FCoE.
   7. To change the default network used by the host from the management network (ovirtmgmt) to a non-management network, configure the default_route property in the Custom Properties tab.
      1. For the management network, set the default_route custom property to false.
      2. For the non-management network, set default_route to true.
      Repeat this configuration on each host in the Data Center. The default_route option is not available by default; you need to add it using the engine configuration tool. See Section B.4, “How to Set Up Red Hat Virtualization Manager to Use a Non-Management Network” for more information.
   8. If your logical network definition is not synchronized with the network configuration on the host, select the Sync network check box. A logical network cannot be edited or moved to another interface until it is synchronized.

      Note

      Networks are not considered synchronized if they have one of the following conditions:

      • The VM Network is different from the physical host network.
      • The VLAN identifier is different from the physical host network.
      • A Custom MTU is set on the logical network, and is different from the physical host network.

5. Edit the logical networks by hovering your cursor over an assigned logical network and clicking the pencil icon to open the Edit Network window.
   If your logical network definition is not synchronized with the network configuration on the host, select the Sync network check box.
   Select a Boot Protocol from:

   • None,
   • DHCP, or
   • Static,
     Provide the IP and Subnet Mask.

   Click OK.
6. Select the Verify connectivity between Host and Engine check box to run a network check; this will only work if the host is in maintenance mode.
7. Select the Save network configuration check box
8. Click OK.

Procedure 6.22. Assigning Additional IPv4 Addresses to a Host Network

1. On the host that you want to configure additional IPv4 addresses for, install the VDSM hook package. The package is available by default on Red Hat Virtualization Hosts but needs to be installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts.

    • If only IPv6 IP addresses can be used, enter inet6_only=1.
14. Select the Secure check box to enable the power management device to connect securely to the host.
15. Click Test to ensure the settings are correct. Test Succeeded, Host Status is: on will display upon successful verification.
    If the host is powered off, you will see Test Succeeded, Host Status is: off
    If the test fails, the default settings that are configured when selecting the power management device type may not match your configuration. This occurs when you change the default fence settings on your hardware. To resolve the problem, update the fence agent settings as follows:
    1. Install the fence-agents package.

       yum install fence-agents

    2. Open the man page for the agent and search for STDIN Parameters section. This contains the names of the parameters that you will need to manually edit. For example, for ilo4 type:

       man fence_ilo4

    3. Check your hardware configuration and determine which value(s) you have changed.
    4. In the Options field in the Edit fence agent window, add the relevant parameter according to the man page and enter the required value according to your configuration.

   Note

   The host maintenance Reason field will only appear if it has been enabled in the cluster settings. See Section 5.2.2.1, “General Cluster Settings Explained” for more information.
4. Optionally, select the required options for hosts that support Gluster.
   Select the Ignore Gluster Quorum and Self-Heal Validations option to avoid the default checks. By default, the Manager checks that the Gluster quorum is not lost when the host is moved to maintenance mode. The Manager also checks that there is no self-heal activity that will be affected by moving the host to maintenance mode. If the Gluster quorum will be lost or if there is self-heal activity that will be affected, the Manager prevents the host from being placed into maintenance mode. Only use this option if there is no other way to place the host in maintenance mode.
   Select the Stop Gluster Service option to stop all Gluster services while moving the host to maintenance mode.

   Note

   These fields will only appear in the host maintenance window when the selected host supports Gluster. See Replacing the Primary Gluster Storage Node in Maintaining Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for more information.
