I see that you are trying to use a bond interface named "mgmt".
To avoid confusion while debugging a system, Vdsm has opted to allow
only bond names starting with "bond" followed by one or more decimal
digits. Anything else is considered "bad bond".

I prefer keeping the "bond" prefix compulsory, but I'd like to hear
why using different names is useful.

You can reopen this bug, but please move it to vdsm and rename it: it
should be something like "Allow any bondXYZ name for bonds" or "Allow
any bond name" and explain there why it is a good idea.

Dominik, is there an Engine-side limitation on bond names?
