Hello.
Despite I didn't get any feedback on this topic anymore I just wanted to
let people know that since I moved the VM to another oVirt Cluster
running oVirt-Node-NG and Kernel 3.10 the problem stopped happening.
Although I still don't know the cause of it I suspect it may have to do
with the kernel that other Host (hypervsior) is running (4.12) as that
is the only once running disk kernel for an specific reason.
To support this suspicious in the past I had another Hypervisor also
running kernel 4.12 and a VM that does that same job had the same issue.
After I have rebooted the Hypervisor back to default kernel (3.10) the
problem didn't happen anymore.
If anyone ever faces this or anything similar please let me know as I am
always interested to find out the root of this issue.
Regards
Fernando

Hello Edwardh and all.
I keep getting these disconnects, were you able to find anything about
to suggest changing ?
As I mentioned this machine different from the others where it never
happened uses the ovirtmgmt network as VM network and has kernel 4.12
instead of the default 3.10 from CentOS 7.3. It seems a particular
situation that is triggering this behavior but could not gather any
hint yet.
I have tried to run a regular arping to force the bridge always learn
the VMs MAC address but it doesn't seem to work and every in a while
the bridge 'forgets' that particular VM mac address.
I have also even rebuilt the VM completely changing its operating
system from Ubuntu 16.04 to CentOS 7.3 and the same problem happened.

<p>Hello Edward, this happened again today and I was able to

<p>So:</p>
<p>- The VM stopped passing any network traffic.<br>

- Another 'brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt' showed the VM's mac

<p>This Node server has the particularity of sharing the

<p>Not tried this yet Edwardh, but will do at next time it

I don't see any reason for it to change from within the VM

<br>
I am still facing a bizarre problem where some VMs
connected to this bridge stop passing traffic.
Checking the problem further I see its mac address
stops being learned by the bridge and the problem is
resolved only with a VM reboot.<br>
<br>
When I last saw the problem I run brctl showmacs
ovirtmgmt and it shows me the VM's mac adress with
agening timer 200.19. After the VM reboot I see the
same mac with agening timer 0.00.<br>
I don't see it in another environment where the
ovirtmgmt is not used for VMs.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any clue about this type of behavior
?<br>
