What is it expected to happen if for example I have 4 active nodes and use a)?

This was what seemed strange to me. Please notice that these hosts were installed in 4.1.x and then update several times up to 4.2.6. So it could be the case of some sort of bug in previous versions and not if I plain install right now in 4.2.6 (not tested) > Upgraded systems (hosts have been added before DNS configuration was > available) will have it empty and you will need to explicitly set it. > It is not my case. >> >>> The values are added through ifcfg, therefore its logic of adding it to >>> resolv.conf is used. >>> >> >> I have also opened a case for another environment where I'm using RHV-H >> hosts, that should be quite similar to ovirt-node-ng >> In that environment one of the original M$ based dns server was changed >> (that was the one I had as primary) creating some latency problems. >> Using setup host networks generated big problems, especially if doing on >> the host where hosted engine was running. >> I verified that a safe way to modify DNS config is: >> - evacuate VMs from host >> - put host into maintenance >> - change dns settings in setup host networks >> - reboot the host >> - activate the host >> >> I do not see a reason to pass all these steps unless we have a bug. > The DNS entry are supposed to be applied immediately through ifcfg, > rebooting is an precaution to make sure it has been correctly persisted. > And if the management network is not serving VM/s, then no VM evacuation > is needed. > If host is not reachable through ovirtmgmt doesn't fencing take place?

Because I had the same kind of problems on oVirt based environments and RHV based ones that are present. So for RHV I opened a case. As a consequence of the case, it was created this solution that I have not tested yet: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3613731 Please note that it requires RH account, but in my opinion should be of public domain or similar information put inside oVirt documentation pages. It could happen having to change DNS and it can be useful to know the recommended workflow for that > >> As far as I remember, when adding a host (that reports the nameservers), > the DNS entries learned are added to the Engine config and used when > sending the first setup-networks to VDSM. > But there were several iterations of this flow, perhaps it changed (will > check). > > >> Note also my comments regarding environment installed in 4.1 and then updated to 4.2 Thanks Gianluca
