We added network filtering options in 4.0.
There is also a option of VDSM hook for things that are not supported via the manager.Yaniv Dary Technical Product Manager Red Hat Israel Ltd. 34 Jerusalem Road Building A, 4th floor Ra'anana, Israel 4350109 Tel : +972 (9) 7692306 8272306 Email: ydary@redhat.com IRC : ydaryOn Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 12:15 AM, Bill Bill <jax2568@outlook.com> wrote:It seems like when starting the VM through the oVirt dashboard, it’s either overwriting or removing those values.

Subject: xml config file being used in ovirt different from virsh?
I have a VM with network filtering enabled, specifically the clean-traffic filter.
Through virsh, I modify the configuration to reflect changes like this:
<filterref filter='clean-traffic'>
<parameter name='IP' value='192.168.10.10.'/>
<parameter name='IP' value='192.168.10.11'/>
</filterref>
This only allows those two specified IP’s to communicate on the VM. I’ve defined the xml through virsh.
Now, if I start the VM directly through virsh, those rules apply and work correctly. I can add any other random IP from the same subnet and it does not work, as expected. Only the two Ip’s specified above will respond.
This unfortunately, makes the VM appear to be down from with the ovirt dashboard if it’s started manually through virsh.
If I edit the machine through virsh but do not start it and then go onto oVirt to start the VM, it seems the configuration is not loaded – does oVirt load a different configuration file other than /etc/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml?
oVirt uses VDSM to build the VM/s configuration file (Domain XML).The only way to control its content from 'outside' is though the hooks: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hooks/
You could use some usage examples from the code base.Thanks,Edy.
