Disabling NetworkManager on Fedora 10
As the install instructions indicate, it is preferred to disable NetworkManager on the oVirt Appliance host system. The below steps should work on most systems to disable NetworkManager and replace it with the standard /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts files.
Note: Steps adapted from http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f10.html#network
First disable NetworkManager and prevent it from automatically loading:
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 NetworkManager off
Next, configure your network settings:
sudo system-config-network
You should have an eth0 device already showing. To configure the IP settings click on Edit. Do not forget to set DNS on the DNS tab (if you're using fixed IP's). Make sure the eth0 is selected as Active. Then File > Save and quit.
Next, enable the service and make sure it loads at next boot:
sudo /etc/init.d/network start sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 network on
While it may be possible to re-activate your network without a reboot, it may be recommended to reboot.
