The DNS should be set in the network settings menu on RHEV-H, either statically or via DHCP. How are your NICS configured?

Dan,

I noticed that we don't have a support case created for this.  Please note that bugzilla is *not* a support tool.  The proper workflow is to work through Red Hat support for issues such as this prior to creating bugs. If needed, the support team assisting you will file bugs with our engineering team.

Thank you

Red Hat Support Supervisor

Hi Jeremy,Andrew ( I am a gps-er on site) we are creating a support case for this issue as well.

We set the network settings via menu on first boot / ovirt-conf...

After install and reboot the dns settings we set.. during firstboot were lost.

We will add the support case to the bug sorry for the confusion/incorrect process

I have created a case #00427279.

This looks like dhclient-script is clearing resolv.conf see bug 675325
