It seemed to be a requirement to attach a VM nic to a different bridge than the currently defined bridge.
Also, ovirt is not compatible with openvswitch to pick those bridges and attach a VM nic.
I have written a vdsm hook which will help you to achieve this.
The functionality has been pushed to upstream via
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/17895/
I would recommend you go through the README file above. How-ever here it is :
where:
macaddress: specify a macaddress which need to be attached to the VM brName : Bridge Name available in hypervisor portType : This have to either ‘ovs’ or ‘lb’ or ”
For ex:
macbind= 00:1a:4a:41:d2:5f-ovsbr0-ovs,00:1a:4a:41:d2:b8-br88-lb
Installation: * Use the engine-config to append the appropriate custom property as such: sudo engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties= ‘previousProperties;macbind=^.*$’ –cver=3.2
* Verify that the macbind custom property was properly added: sudo engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties
Usage: In the VM configuration window, open the custom properties tab and add macbind=
NOTE: Live migration is **not** tested.
You can mention these values as given in the image.
Once you do that when you run a VM, the specified mac addresses will be bounded to the bridges you mentioned.
If it is openvwitch (ovs’ as portType ) it will add extra xml entries into VMs xml file. You should make sure those bridges are present in your hypervisor.
if you specified ‘ovs’ as portType or 3 rd arg:
[xml]
[/xml]
If you specify ‘lb’ or ” as portType:
The given bridge will be replaced with current bridge:
xml
Please let me know your feedback !!
The contents website has is good but design and specially the adds make me feel quit immediately.
