Description Allie DeVolder 2014-07-01 15:13:23 UTC
- What is the nature and description of the request?
Support for initially configuring LACP (Mode 4 Bond) manually in order to connect with RHEV-M.

- Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
In order to actually communicate with RHEV-M over Brocade brand networking equipment, the LACP bond must be enabled in order for traffic to reach the RHEV-M. If that bond is created, vdsm-reg treats it as a bridge instead of a bond, and breaks.

- How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional
requirements here)
TUI support for initially configuring and connecting to RHEV-M over LACP

Comment 2 Dan Kenigsberg 2014-07-06 13:54:28 UTC
I believe that in the network page of ovirt-node's TUI, an admin can set up arbitrary bonding options.

However, the sad thing is that as you can see in bug 1097713, vdsm-reg does not work over bond, and it has never worked. You can still trigger installation via Engine, but the real answer is in bug 994451: vdsm-reg must go.

Comment 9 Gerwin Krist 2015-05-29 13:50:36 UTC
Any update on this one? Our switches (Extreme Networks) do have the same problem as the Brocade switches. Registering new hosts is currently very hard for us without jumping thru hoops.

Comment 13 Fabian Deutsch 2015-06-08 08:45:45 UTC
As mentioned in comment 2 users can already created bonds with arbitrary options in the RHEV-H, this should also cover the creation of LACP capable bonds.

But note that in case that bonds are used, the user must add the host from the RHEV-M side.

Comment 14 Yaniv Kaul 2015-11-17 14:36:33 UTC
Fabian - anything else left to do here?

Comment 15 Fabian Deutsch 2015-11-17 14:48:09 UTC
It should get test coverage, otherwise we should be fine.

Ying, should this (LACP mode) be covered explicitly in test case RHEVM3-13108 ?

Comment 16 Yaniv Kaul 2015-11-18 15:00:53 UTC
(In reply to Fabian Deutsch from comment #15)
> It should get test coverage, otherwise we should be fine.

So it should be moved to ON_QA.

Comment 17 Fabian Deutsch 2015-11-18 15:04:56 UTC
Indeed.

Comment 18 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-11-18 15:04:59 UTC
Fixed bug tickets must have target milestone set prior to fixing them. Please set the correct milestone and move the bugs back to the previous status after this is corrected.

Comment 19 Chaofeng Wu 2015-11-19 09:27:40 UTC
We try the following steps on rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20151112.1.iso. Confirmed that 
RHEV-M can add RHEV-H by mode 4 bond network, with RHEV-H connect to the network 
switch which configured LACP mode.

Physical ENV:
Test machine           Switch
    eno3 <-----------> port 21
    eno4 <-----------> port 22

Version:
RHEV-M3.6.0.3-0.1.el6
rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20151112.1.iso
ovirt-node-3.6.0-0.20.20151103git3d3779a.el7ev.noarch

Steps:
1. Configure the port 21 and 22 with LACP mode configured on the switch.
2. Install RHEV-H7.2-20151112, create bond0 with mode4 on eno3 and eno4, configure
bond0 with vlan tag 20 and DHCP mode.
3. Add RHEV-H from RHEV-M3.6.0.3-0.1.el6.
4. Unplug one port from the test machine.

Result:
After step3, RHEV-H can be up successful on RHEV-M.
After step4, RHEV-H still up on RHEV-M.

Fabian, could you check comment 19, is that enough for this bug on node side? Thanks

Comment 21 Fabian Deutsch 2015-11-19 14:44:24 UTC
4. Unplug one port from the test machine.
Suggestion: Try to remove both cables, just one at a time.

I don't know if the correct working of LACp can be verified from the console.
In general this looks fine to me.

We should also cover the auto-installation with the bond_setup= argument to see where we stand here.

> 4. Unplug one port from the test machine.

Test your suggestion steps:
1, Unplug one cable, wait 5 mins, ping and check RHEV-H status.
2. Plug the cable back, wait 5 mins, ping and check RHEV-H status.
3. Unplug the other one, wait 5 mins, ping and check RHEV-H status.
4. Plug the cable back, wait 5 mins, ping and check RHEV-H status.

Result:
For all the steps, RHEV-H can ping successful, there is no ping packages lost,
and RHEV-H status always was up.

Test the bood_setup patameter:
bond=bond0:eno3,eno4:mode=4 vlan=20:bond0

Test steps were some with TUI Installation, the result was PASS.

Comment 23 Chaofeng Wu 2015-11-24 08:48:28 UTC
Hi Allan,

We test the request on Bond+Vlan environment, details please see the comment 19 and comment 22. 
Do you think whether those scenarios can meet the customers request ?

Comment 24 wanghui 2016-02-03 08:03:42 UTC
According to comment#19 and #22, verified this issue on rhev-hypervisor7-7.2-20151112.1.iso.
