So it seems that 4.0 generates more files and wants to bridge an ethernet<br>
unbridgeable link. Steps to attempt to configure the connection for 4.0 was the<br>
same done successfully for 3.6.<br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>

&gt;         Hi list,<br>
&gt;         I&#39;m trying a test installation of the new Ovirt Node Image and engine before<br>
&gt;         upgrading my 3.6 installation.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         In my current environment every hypervisor access the NFS shared data<br>
&gt;         domain via<br>
&gt;         infiniband. With a couple of vdsm hooks I was able to set the infiniband<br>
&gt;         link in<br>
&gt;         connected mode and set a MTU of 65520. In my case the infiniband link is<br>
&gt;         used as<br>
&gt;         a common NIC, I don&#39;t use RDMA, only IP over infiniband to access the<br>
&gt;         data domain.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         Now, when I attempt to setup host networking, the system try to bridge the<br>
&gt;         connection &quot;ibstorage&quot; (defined in networks tab) with ib0 device. But a non<br>
&gt;         ethernet device cannot be bridged that way and host networking setup fails.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         Any idea or suggestion? With 3.6 (node and engine) all was fine.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         Thanks<br>
