I have a SAN Network defined in oVirt where I have enabled Jumbo frames
(by setting the MTU to 9000).
Still I see now VM Nic;s attached to this network get MTU 1500 and are
therefore basically not working.
I have created several VMs before all (still) have Jumbo Frames on the
their san-interface, but newly created VMs get 1500.
Currently on 3.4 Beta2 (upgraded from alpha --> beta1 --->) and this
behaviour have started somewhere along the way..
The host physical interface
em2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr D0:67:E5:F9:2E:1C

RX bytes:2395173035170 (2.1 TiB) TX bytes:408352341106

And on a VM

If manully setting the MTU everything work as expected.. (Until you
reboot the machine)
Anyone else seen this ?

This sounds like a reasonable behaviour since there is a clear separation
between the host networking configuration to the vms networking configuration.
What you're attempting to achieve is guest-os level network configuration which
isn't controlled by the ovirt-engine.
The current method to control guest network internals is by using the
cloud-init-integration
however MTU is not part of its api [1].
You can add it to the 3.5 planning thread as a requested item.

If I understand this correctly the the
VMs NIC is mapped to a Virtual
Nic in the Host with a similar MAC, created when the VM starts.
# VM internal NIC
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:4A:2F:D2:A8
inet addr:192.168.43.15 Bcast:192.168.43.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21a:4aff:fe2f:d2a8/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:9000 Metric:1

TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:468 (468.0 b) TX bytes:578 (578.0 b)
# Host Virtual Nic
vnet26 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:1A:4A:2F:D2:A8
inet6 addr: fe80::fc1a:4aff:fe2f:d2a8/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
RX bytes:648 (648.0 b) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b)
As you can see the MTU differs between the two. If setting the MTU of
vnet26 to match the VM;s internal nic (and the host physical NIC for
that matter), everything is back to normal.
I'm quite sure that nic (vnet26) must match what is set on the host
physical NIC, I cant see how it would work otherwise.

Tap should definitely have the same MTU as the bridge it's started on.

vnet26 to match the VM;s internal nic (and the host physical NIC for
that matter), everything is back to normal.
I'm quite sure that nic (vnet26) must match what is set on the host
physical NIC, I cant see how it would work otherwise.
You are correct, can you please open a bug for it?
Also please specify libvirt/vdsm/kernel versions that you're using (maybe it was
already fixed in updated version?)
