I have 4 network interfaces on the host.  I have not created any bonds or bridges.  What's the workflow here to get the network list to be NOT EMPTY?

Hi Timothy,

I had the same issue in my lab not being able to select a bridge when adding a portgroup. The reason for this was that I didn't create a compute network during cluster creation because I thought it would work fine over the management network (as i also have only one uplink in the lab setup). It seems that you still need to create a compute network and select the network interface that is used for management during cluster creation. Now you have the option to select the compute ovs bridge when creating a portgroup.

To get this working I deleted the cluster and started over again with the configuration making sure the compute network settings were filled in. You can also define vlans during thies step and portgroups for these vlans are created automatically. I did'nt find a way yet to configure this compute network post cluster creation. If anybody knows how you may always let me know

kind regards

Hi Timothy,

We need to make sure that we have "OVS Bridge Domain" created and available with Group type shared .
You may go to Infrastructure > Network > Routers to check the availability of OVS Bridge Domains present and their group association.

From above, we have 2  Routers (OVS Bridge Domains) available .

Also doesn't mean that all of the Routes has to be "shared", one can be part of any particular Group other than be "Shared".

While adding "OVS Port Group" (from Infrastructure > Network > +Add, make sure you have selected the correct group.
Selection of Group will show the associated Host Bridge for selection., as shown below .
