Previously, engine-setup did not provide enough information about configuring ovirt-provider-ovn. The current release fixes this issue by providing more information in the engine-setup prompt and documentation that helps users understand their choice and follow up actions.

If the cluster has no 'external network provider' enabled this is expected and won't work. The default is no provider, so if customer didn't changed it is expected. In order to this to work you need: 1. Enable ovn provider on the cluster level 2. Remove and hosts again so all relevant ovn configuration and tunneling will applied on the host. If this is the case this should be closed as not a bug. sorry for late response, I thought once customer runs engine-setup with "--reconfigure-optional-components" and he enables ovirt-ovn-provider engine will instruct host to create br-int interface, if not we should at least warn him either in the setup or at least in documentation that he enabled it in engine however to push this to host he needs to remove and add the host again, what do you think? (In reply to Marian Jankular, comment#2) I definitely agree that the current behavior is not obvious, and there's room for improvement on our docs; I think updating the documentation would suffice. Marian, do you think the following two suggestions would be helpful: 1. We will add a sentence to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3-beta/html-single/administration_guide/index#Adding_OVN_as_an_External_Network_Provider which highlights that other clusters than the Default one are not modified to use ovirt-provider-ovn as the default network provider and ovn will not work for this reason. 2. Print a warning message to engine-setup, which highlights that other clusters than the Default one are not modified to use ovirt-provider-ovn as the default network provider and ovn will not work for this reason. Hi Dominik, I think that should be enough. Thank you in advance. (In reply to Dominik Holler from comment #4) > Marian, do you think the following two suggestions would be helpful: > > 1.

Fine for me, but imo we should only do this if there actually are other clusters - otherwise, it will be confusing. Or, make it a info/note (not warning) and write the text so that it's clear that this is the case, if it's indeed so, also for clusters to be created in the future. Also, it wasn't clear from previous comments if it does work automatically for cluster 'Default' (and VMs already created on it prior to the latter engine-setup). Is it so? If not, we should again clarify this in the text. 1. If it's just a new warning, almost no-one will notice, IMO.
2. If it's important enough, we should prompt:
Configure ovirt-provider-ovn (Yes, No) [Yes]: yes
Please note that only the cluster 'Default' is configured to use it. Press Enter to continue.
3. If we do not want to prompt, perhaps just change the text asking whether to configure ovn. E.g.:
Configure ovirt-provider-ovn? Please note that if you do, only the cluster 'Default' is configured to use it (Yes, No) [Yes]:
Michael, Please document what message + behaviour you would like in this flow. Thanks (In reply to eraviv from comment #9) > Michael, > > Please document what message + behaviour you would like in this flow. > > Thanks HI Eitan, Currently i find the message confusing and user may think that the default cluster is the only cluster that works with OVN. The message should improved and include that other clusters can be set with OVN after installation or something like that. When i read it now, i understand that the default cluster is the only one who effective with OVN.. This can be moved to ON_QA Verified on - rhvm-4.4.0-0.32.master.el8ev.noarch Configure ovirt-provider-ovn and set the Default cluster's default network provider to ovirt-provider-ovn (non-Default clusters may be configured with an OVN provider after installation) (Yes, No) [Yes]: Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhv 4.2.8 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. run engine setup and do not configure ovirt-ovn-provider 2. add host, storage 3. run engine-setup --reconfigure-optional-components and configure ovirt-ovn-provider 4, create network provided by ovirt-ovn-provider 5, create vm with ovn network and try to boot Actual results: vm will fail with error below: VM test-ovn is down with error. Exit message: Hook Error: ('',). Expected results: ovn services will be started on the hosts, br-int interface will be created and vm will be able to boot Additional info: removing and re-adding hosts workaround the issue
