Hi,
Little over a year ago Fedora introduced alternative bonding driver for network devices - libteam: https://fedorahosted.org/libteam/ Can we expect libteam support in ovirt at the same level as for "bond" driver? Currently, libteam bonded interfaces are not visible in "Setup Host Networks" dialog.
Hi Tomasz,
We are aware of libteam bonds and I personally look forward to them very much.
The ideal way to support them would be via one new network configurator that would implicitly make teamd bonds instead of usual bonds. After the iproute2 configurator is finished (it is currently in progress but quite functional) it should be quite easy to inherit from vdsm/netconf/iproute2.py and modify configureBond, removeBond and editBondings so that they make use of teamd bonds.
What needs to be done to get ”minimal” support? By minimal I understand oVirt acknowledging that network interfaces are teamed. Configuring teams from oVirt can come later. Right now teamed interfaces are displayed as separate in net configuration dialog, and master team device is not displayed at all. I could live with manually configure teams if only I can attach them to ovirt networks.
would that be a bridged or a bridgeless network? A vlanned or non-vlanned network?
I'm not entirely sure if you honestly asking or just trying to make me realize how many variables are involved in such support. I will assume the former. I have team0 interface of two physical NICs. I'd like to have this team0 interface attached to particular VM. That would mean bridged network I suppose. There are no VLANs in my setup. To be clear, I am able to tear down this setup and revert to old-school bond. I'd prefer not to – it needs some downtime to reconfigure and validate. So now I'm against the question: what will require more work from me, reconfiguring network or making ovirt recognize basic team0. -- Tomasz Torcz Morality must always be based on practicality. xmpp: zdzichubg@chrome.pl -- Baron Vladimir Harkonnen
