DNS Resolution Fedora oVirt Engine AllInOne
So I decided to give the oVirt virtualization platform a shot again today since in order for me to run VMWare ESX I'm going to need to drop $100+ on a new raid controller and I just don't have that right now.
This involved loading Fedora Core 18 which was easy enough and once I got things rolling with the oVirt installation using the All-In-One option shown here (after you install the RPM, read the how to's around the net, this isn't meant to be a full blown installation post):
yum install ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone
In going through the setup documentation it was fairly straight forward and everything went smooth until I configured the oVirt engine. That's when out of nowhere I lost DNS resolution. I was able to ping, I was able to use dig but I could NOT resolve DNS. The way that I was able to fix this was to manually add the DNS entries into the interface configuration file for the bridge that was created after oVirt finished installing.
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt
Your file should look something like this:
DEVICE=ovirtmgmt ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge DELAY=0 IPADDR=192.168.5.20 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.5.1 DNS1=192.168.2.15 DNS2=123.245.234.22 BOOTPROTO=none NM_CONTROLLED=no STP=no
The lines that I had to add were DNS1 and DNS2. I also needed to modify the gateway address but I did that through the web interface (why the DNS isn't configurable in the web console I don't know, kind of silly, but it's not).
