Re: [ovirt-users] Falsely detected network device status

Hi All, I've encountered a network device that is being falsely detected as down. On adding a new network to a 3.4 hosted engine, one of the two hosts is displaying a component interface as down with the webadmin console.

Ethtool confirms the link status as up and connectivity through the corresponding interfaces of the network has been proven. Shortly after adding the network I noted that the node with the falsely detected iface status, was set Non-Operational. All running VM's evacuated. The engine.log showing... INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-33) [2daa7788] Correlation ID: null, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: Host hosted_engine_2 moved to Non-Operational state because interfaces 'eth1' are down but are needed by networks 'EVD_DMZ' in the current cluster

2 other interfaces for ovirtmgmt and another VM network on this same host have long functioned perfectly well. When assigning the network to the interface I see the following in messages...
