Hi, just installed oVirt 3.3 and noticed that the suggestion from this thread was included:
--- /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/config.py.orig 2013-03-14 11:32:54.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/config.py 2013-05-16 16:34:27.722959670 +0200 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ ('extra_mem_reserve', '65', 'Memory reserved for non-vds-administered programs.'),
- ('fake_nics', '', + ('fake_nics', 'dummy*', 'Comma-separated list of fnmatch-patterns for dummy hosts nics to ' 'be shown to vdsm.'),
The suggestion was to include a pattern which makes it possible to use dummy NICs in oVirt, but I think there is a typo: --- /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/config.py.orig 2013-08-22 18:02:57.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/config.py 2013-08-25 20:02:54.123248727 +0200 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ ('extra_mem_reserve', '65', 'Memory reserved for non-vds-administered programs.'), - ('fake_nics', 'dummy_*', + ('fake_nics', 'dummy*', 'Comma-separated list of fnmatch-patterns for dummy hosts nics to ' 'be shown to vdsm.'), As you can see, the new pattern includes dummy NICs, but expect the devices to be prefixes with "dummy_". Apparently the underscore does not work. The pattern should expect "dummy*" instead. I did the modification locally and dummy NICs are working again. Any chance to get this fixed for 3.3 oder maybe 3.3.1? Thanks - Frank
