RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Luyao Huang 2014-09-25 01:25:07 UTC 
This bug also can be reproduced in RHEL6,so clone a new bug for RHEL6.7
and Version-Release of RHEL6:
libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1140085 +++

Description of problem:
guest interface which use existing bridge source bridge will disappear after libvirtd restart

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a virtual network which use host exist bridge
# virsh net-dumpxml host-bridge
<network connections='2'>
  <name>host-bridge</name>
  <uuid>3b251430-0eb4-4670-96e5-9ddd6d0bd90f</uuid>
  <forward mode='bridge'/>
  <bridge name='br13'/>
</network>

2.# brctl show
bridge name        bridge id                STP enabled        interfaces
br13                8000.525400094d3f        no                br13-nic
                                                                


3.# virsh net-start host-bridge
Network host-bridge started

4.prepare a running guest
# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 13    test3                          running

5.# virsh attach-interface test3 network host-bridge
Interface attached successfully

6.# virsh dumpxml test3
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d3:16:22'/>
      <source bridge='br13'/>

      <model type='rtl8139'/>
      <alias name='net2'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

7.# brctl show
bridge name        bridge id                STP enabled        interfaces
br13                8000.525400094d3f        no                br13-nic
                                                                vnet2

8.# service libvirtd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  libvirtd.service

9.# virsh dumpxml test3
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d3:16:22'/>
      <target dev='vnet2'/>
      <model type='rtl8139'/>
      <alias name='net2'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

10.# virsh domiflist test3
Interface  Type       Source     Model       MAC
-------------------------------------------------------
vnet2      bridge     -          rtl8139     52:54:00:d3:16:22




11.
# brctl show
bridge name        bridge id                STP enabled        interfaces

12.some virsh command cannot be used 
#virsh detach-interface test3 network 52:54:00:d3:16:22
error: Failed to detach interface
error: internal error: No <source> 'bridge' attribute specified with <interface type='bridge'/>
