--- Additional comment from Dan Kenigsberg on 2016-11-04 08:07:32 EDT ---

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

--- Additional comment from Dan Kenigsberg on 2016-11-06 02:05:39 EST ---

I'm taking this bug to Vdsm, since it might be long before an openvswitch fixed is rushed into the fast datapath channel.
