Updating ovirt network used for OVN tunnel needs to be added to the docs. Description below: When a host is installed, it uses the "ovirtmgmt" network to set up OVN tunnels (connecting the OVN hosts). But, the user might want to use another network for this purpose. This can be done by executing the "ovirt-provider-ovn-driver" ansible playbook from the engine host, to change the configuation for all hosts in a cluster. Steps: 1. Go to: cd /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks 2. Execute: ansible-playbook --private-key=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa -i /usr/share/ovirt-engine-metrics/bin/ovirt-engine-hosts-ansible-inventory --extra-vars " cluster_name=<cluster name> ovn_central=<ovn central ip> ovn_tunneling_interface=<vdsm network name>" ovirt-provider-ovn-driver.yml For example, for the following parameters: cluster: TEST_CLUSTER network: TEST_NETWORK ovn central ip: 192.168.0.1 the command will be: ansible-playbook --private-key=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa -i /usr/share/ovirt-engine-metrics/bin/ovirt-engine-hosts-ansible-inventory --extra-vars " cluster_name=TEST_CLUSTER ovn_central=192.168.0.1 ovn_tunneling_interface=TEST_NETWORK" ovirt-provider-ovn-driver.yml Note that "ovn_central" ip can, but does not have to be on the new network. The only requirement is that is has be reachable from all hosts. Note that this only changes the settings on existing hosts. If new hosts are added to the cluster, the procedure has to be repeated. The OVN tunnel network can also be changed on an individual host by invoking: vdsm-tool ovn-config <ovn central ip> <tunneling ip or network name>

Marcin, is this change recorded in an engineering RFE? If so, can you provide the BZ number. Thanks!
This is the dev bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1565109

Raising severity, as any serious OVN user would NOT like to use the management network for tunneling.
Officially accepting this into our GA program.
Will be published with 4.2 GA documents
