Hi Anil, First of all welcome and I hope you'll enjoy working with oVirt. vdsdummy is a bridge VDSM creates and uses for functionality like disconnected VNIC. If you start a VM and you want the VM to have a vNIC not connected to a specific network (bridge) VDSM starts the VM and connects the tap device to the vdsdummy bridge. This is a workaround to a functionality we are missing in libvirt (starting a VM with unconnected tap device). About the 4 bonds, well that's a legacy code and I think we cleaned this code in the last version 3.3 - but I'm not sure (Adding Toni to confirm/disconfirm) Livnat

Hi Anil, as Livnat said, ;vdsmdummy; is required for operation of vdsm, concretely for changing the link state of a vnic to disconnected. As for the bonds, they are not created on systemd distros Fedora18+ but they are indeed created on older distros for backwards compatibility reasons. Best, Toni ----- Original Message -----
