Hello,
I just upgraded my oVirt 3.5.1 install to 3.6. I have a self-hosted
engine setup all on a single server.
I make use of dummy interfaces for internal networks for my various
labs/testing setups. Normally I edit the following file:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/config.py
I then go to the variable 'fake_nics' and add 'dummy*", so it looks like
this:
('fake_nics', 'dummy_*,veth_*,dummy*', ),
After I added my entry, I even restarted the whole server (which
restarts the VDSM on the host as well as the engine VM), but when I go
into the "Network Interfaces" on the host the dummy interfaces are not
showingup.
Are dummy interfaces still supported in 3.6? I see a feature called
"Isolated Networks" in 3.6; is this essentially a replacement? The
Features page is a bit confusing to me on how to create an isolated
network?
Thanks!
Regards,
Alan

Isolated network interfaces didn't make it to 3.6

I'm running ovirt 3.6 AiO and dummy interfaces are working just fine.
Instead of modifying oVirt's python source files, I'd recommend you
rename the dummy interface(s) to match the required pattern.
I've setup a service for this by creating /etc/systemd/system/dummynics.service
with the following content:
[Unit]
Description=Rename dummy network interfaces for oVirt
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip l set dev dummy0 name dummy_0
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip l set dev dummy1 name dummy_1
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip l set dev dummy2 name dummy_2
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ip l set dev dummy3 name dummy_3
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then enable this service as follows:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable dummynics
systemctl status dummynics
Of course, you need to use the new dummy_* names when configuring the
network interfaces. I'd recommend to reboot the host after making these
changes.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for info! Does your script automatically load the dummy module
as well, or do you create a separate file in '/etc/modprobe.d' to load
it (that's how I currently do my dummy NICs)
Thanks! :-)

Modifying fake_nics in vdsm.conf is still supported and should still
work (though it requires restarting both vdsmd and supervdsmd). If it
does not - please file a bug.
However, I would recommend to initially creat the dummy devices with
their proper name
ip link add dummy_1 type dummy
instead of creating them with dummy1 and then renaming them.
