</div></div>I see that you are trying to use a bond interface named "mgmt".<br>
To avoid confusion while debugging a system, Vdsm has opted to allow<br>
only bond names starting with "bond" followed by one or more decimal<br>
digits. Anything else is considered "bad bond".<br>
<br>
I prefer keeping the "bond" prefix compulsory, but I'd like to hear<br>
why using different names is useful.<br>
<br>
You can reopen this bug, but please move it to vdsm and rename it: it<br>
should be something like "Allow any bondXYZ name for bonds" or "Allow<br>
any bond name" and explain there why it is a good idea.<br>
<br>
Dominik, is there an Engine-side limitation on bond names?<br>
