working.
needs document:

  • site configuration under virt.
  • required pre-creation of host PKI certs

need network interface modification to use bridge.

Comment by shimono [ 15/Sep/17 ]

possible way, but not to be applicable for all sites.

  • setup configuration file as /etc/network/interface.d/ifname
  • configure only the main interface, which has IP address assigned
  • hand configuration for other interfaces
  • have lockout flag per host (group vars), which requires bonding for the main interface

Assuming:

  • one interface has IP address to main network (e.g. PFS-LAN at summit, instrument control network at sites)
  • other interfaces do not have IP address, just a bridge (e.g. V-LAN at summit)
  • at initial installation by preseed, /etc/network/interfaces is written as DHCP, only two lines are there

confirmed working at physical host (r410-3).
