The storage is NFS which is on the same VLAN and subnet | as the hosts. The ovirt-engine is on a standalone server but is NOT on the | same vlan/subnet yet. | | Is this normal behavior for the SPM to have issue when migrating hosts to and | from it? I don't have any further network interfaces to add to the hosts at | this time (we are planning on adding a 2x 10GB card to each node in the | future but we don't have that option at this time).

Currently it is possible to hard-limit the migration using The /usr/share/doc/<vdsm-version>/vdsm.conf.sample file with # Maximum bandwidth for migration, in mbps, 0 means libvirt's default (30mbps?). # migration_max_bandwidth = 0 In the coming oVirt 3.3 we should be able to handle this by separating the migration network, and then use- http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Network_QoS Doron
