[ovirt-users] VDSM network persistence through re-install

[Trey Dockendorf]

Dan,

Thanks for the information. I'll follow that RFE.  Being able to
re-provision a host and not have to remember the correct network interface
mapping for 10 interfaces would be a huge help...too much can go wrong if I
have to re-setup a config that I thought was saved in the engine.

Thanks,
- Trey
