[ovirt-users] Problemas with ovirtmgmt network used to connect VMs

[FERNANDO FREDIANI]

Hello Edward, this happened again today and I was able to check more 
details.

So:

- The VM stopped passing any network traffic.
- Checking 'brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt' it showed the VM's mac address 
missing.
- I then went to oVirt Engine, under VM's 'Network Interfaces' tab, 
clicked Edit and changed the Link State to Down then to Up and it 
recovered its connectivity.
- Another 'brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt' showed the VM's mac address learned 
again by the bridge.

This Node server has the particularity of sharing the ovirtmgmt with 
VMs. Could it possibly be the cause of the issue in any way ?

Thanks
Fernando
