[ovirt-users] OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: Network Custom Properties

[Ido Barkan]

Hi,

Following is a summery of testing the Network custom properties feature as detailed the link at the bottom.

setUp:
======
engine: F19
Hosts:
    F20 (virtual)
    REHL 6.5 (physical)
- in separate clusters

Network custom properties:
==========================

1. I have defined a custom property entry via 'engine-config' cli and verified it consisted.
 * The property was defined with a validation regular expression
 * note that this requires an engine restart.
2. Added a new network to the DC and set the new property with the new drop-down value of 'custom properties'.
 - verified that violating the regular expression validation fails the network set up (client side validation).
 - verified that a legal value is passed to the server using a custom hook at before_network_setup stage.
   [hook code attached]
3. removed the value from the DB
-- verified it is no longer available in the set up networks custom properties drop down.

bridge options:
===============

1. changed the bridge options at the OS level (via editing /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/<options>)
2. defined overrides in the logical level using the bridge_opts drop down value (key=value comma separated list)
--verified that the values are changed after setting up network
3. removed the logical level settings
-- verified that the values are set back to the original ones

ethtool options:
================

* note- testing this on a virtual host, or on a virtual NIC on a physical host is pretty useless. For the NIC driver
to be capable of actually allowing NIC changes you need a bare metal NIC.

1. installed the vdsm-hook-ethtool-options hook on a physical host
2. set up network with the following ethtool command line arguments added: "-s eth1 speed 100 autoneg off"
-- verified using ethtool that changes took place
3. set up network with the following ethtool command line arguments added: "-s eth1 autoneg on"
-- verified using ethtool that changes took place
