Hello all,
Introducing the oVirt 3.5 feature of network custom properties:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Network_Custom_Properties
Essentially, this feature aims to solve two RFEs, that request the
ability to set bridge and ethtool options on host interfaces from the
GUI/REST:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080984
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1080987
It will do so by adding custom properties (key:value pairs) to networks
assigned to host interfaces, which can in turn be acted upon via hooks
when e.g. a Setup Networks command is triggered.
Two predefined keys will include bridge_opts and ethtool_opts, but any
arbitrary custom property could be supplied as well.
Please take a look at the detailed feature page and let me know if you
have any comments.
Thanks for taking this feature! I think that it's very important to open
up our network configuration to all sorts of things that users want and
we have not even thought about.
I did not read all the page, but I'm worried about
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Network_Custom_Properties#Vdsm
The network-specific custom properties should be specific to a network,
not to a setupNetwork command. They cannot be part of
@SetupNetworkOptions, as two different network being set up by a single
command may have different custom properties.
The following example dictionary adds to the confusion with what seems
to be a typo (bootproto is certainly not an option of 'bonding').
