Comment 1 Dan Kenigsberg 2016-11-04 12:07:32 UTC
Until fixed by pushing the request package into the fast-datapath channel, users can manually comment-out the line

    Requires=openvswitch

from their /usr/lib/systemd/system/vdsm-network-init.service

Comment 2 Dan Kenigsberg 2016-11-06 07:05:39 UTC
I'm taking this bug to Vdsm, since it might be long before an openvswitch fixed is rushed into the fast datapath channel.

Comment 3 Anton Marchukov 2016-11-11 13:19:14 UTC
This bug had multiple version flags and was cloned to 4.0.5 as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394232 please move this to relevant 4.1 milestone.

Moving this back to ASSIGNED as attached gerrit fix is for 4.0.5 branch and I am not sure if it is in master.

Comment 4 Dan Kenigsberg 2016-11-12 06:49:51 UTC
We expect the underlying OvS problem to be fixed prior the release of ovirt-4.1, hence we do not want to fix this in 4.1
