Description Yevgeny Zaspitsky 2015-05-12 13:17:52 UTC

The second phase of RFE #1163365 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1163365).

Upon discovering a problematic configuration (missing IP boot protocol) on a NIC with non-VM roles, the host should become non-operational.
That is after in v3.6 we warn the user that such configuration is deprecated and won't be allowed in future version.

What about FCoE?

Comment 2 Yevgeny Zaspitsky 2015-11-22 21:38:54 UTC

If an interface cannot support IP configuration it cannot be used for a role bearing network attachement.
AFAIK all roles are implemented over IP stack, and the RFE is about to make sure that a role bearing network would function according to the role it bears.

- I'm not sure this is the case with FCoE - honestly don't know - but we need to find out.
- I'm not sure this is the case with IB - if we (ever) wish to support migration over IB (RDMA, not IPoIB - see http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/RDMALiveMigration ).

Closing old RFEs, please reopen if still needed.
Patches are always welcomed.
