[Users] ovirt LACP/port aggregation fails to initialize on node boot

[Jason Keltz]

I'm experimenting with LACP/port aggregation on my public network 
interface in my oVirt test setup. My goal is to bind two 1G ports 
together.  Our network operations team configured two 1G switch ports 
appropriately, and I set up the bond between eth0 and eth1 on the node 
using the engine.  I can't configure the IP of the interface statically 
because then I don't get the option to set a gateway, which I need for 
our public network.  Using DHCP worked before enabling LACP (which 
acquires the gateway from the DHCP record).  After enabling LACP, when 
the node boots, it doesn't get an address. The node gets hostname 
"localhost".  I have to login to the admin, hit F2, "ifdown PublicNet" 
"ifup PublicNet", but then it works!  There's obviously some minor delay 
issue during node initialization, but there should be some way to tell 
it to wait a bit longer?

Jason.
