I imported a guest from its iscsi storage domain and clicked the green UP button, but the guest failed to start. This was the first time vdsm tried to create a temporary storage domain for a host other than hosted_engine. I'm using the same chap credential that was used with the same iscsi storage domain with the old instance of Manager. It looks like it wasn't able to get permission to do something, but everything was set up with sudo-as-root. I used CentOS 7.2 with the ovirt-release repository and hosted-engine script to deploy Manager.

I verified the guests are able to start with filtering enabled on the vnic profile if it is set to false in engine-config and ovirt-engine service bounced. I'd prefer to leaf macspoofing disabled globally and only enable for things like VRR, CARP; but I'll have to leave it enabled for now. Could it be that the macs of the imported guests, being from the foreign mac pool, are being blocked by an ebtables policy? I wonder if I add their Ethernet range to the pools of the gaining Manager...
