Hi guys, I've got a bit of a strange one, I'm setting up an internal ovirt system Centos 6.3 64bit dreyou repo... and I'm getting lots of packet loss on the guest I've installed, the packet loss doesn't happen on the physical hosts, only the VM gets it, when communicating from and to it. 1 node(Centos 6.3 64bit) vdsm-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.x86_64 vdsm-cli-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.noarch vdsm-xmlrpc-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.noarch vdsm-python-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.x86_64 The engine(also Centos 6.3 64bit(engine has local NFS storage which the node connects to) ovirt-engine-userportal-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-image-uploader-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-iso-uploader-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-restapi-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-sdk-3.2.0.8-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.5-1.el6.noarch ovirt-log-collector-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-setup-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-jbossas711-1-0.x86_64 ovirt-engine-config-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch Both the node and engine have bonded interfaces all NICS are intel 82574L gigabit and the managed switch reflects gigabit on each of the ports.

Thanks Rene, I'll look into your suggestions. I don't think it's a conflicting MAC as there is only 1 guest, but will check it out. Would you advise running the engine and nodes on a separate network range to my existing network rather? Thanks. Regards. Neil Wilson.
