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