Hi Ido

I updated the database and all seemed to be OK.

Cheers

Hi Gary.
First, In oVirt 3.6 we will enable editing a few network attributes
while there vms attached to it.
The reason this is forbidden is that until v3.6, by default, vdsm will
recreate the network for
every network edition and this can seriously disturb the network for
the running vms.
Second, if you want to tweak the MTU you should use 'ip link set dev
<dev-name> mtu 9000'
for each device in the network (Bridge, Vlan device, Bond, physical
NIC). Then, you should edit
vdsm persistence json files under both /var/run/vdsm/netconf/<nets/bonds>/
and /var/lib/vdsm/persistence/netconf/<nets/bonds>/. You should find a
file for each network/bond
under those paths.
On the engine DB you should find the proper row in the 'network' table
and update the 'mtu' attribute.
Good luck,
Ido
