Hello Edward, this happened again today and I was able to check more
details.
So:
- The VM stopped passing any network traffic.
- Checking 'brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt' it showed the VM's mac address
missing.
- I then went to oVirt Engine, under VM's 'Network Interfaces' tab,
clicked Edit and changed the Link State to Down then to Up and it recovered
its connectivity.
- Another 'brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt' showed the VM's mac address learned
again by the bridge.
This Node server has the particularity of sharing the ovirtmgmt with VMs.
Could it possibly be the cause of the issue in any way ?
There is nothing special with ovirtmgmt bridge in this regard.
I suggest you check the VM itself to see if it tries to send traffic, the
fact that the mac is not appearing on the bridge table is an outcome of no
traffic passing from the vNIC with that source mac address.
Thanks
Fernando

Not tried this yet Edwardh, but will do at next time it happens. THe
source mac address should be the mac as the VM. I don't see any reason for
it to change from within the VM ou outside.
What type of things would make the bridge stop learning a given VM mac
address ?

Have you tried to use tcpdump at the VM vNIC to examine if there is
traffic trying to get out from there? And with what source mac address?
Thanks,
