Description Moti Asayag 2014-10-05 08:23:53 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1136329 +++

Description of problem:

The current host networking API suffers from various limitations:

- A mix of the physical and the logical network configuration
- A Cumbersome request format for 'setup networks'
- The attach/detach network isn't the RESTFul way to modify the interface
- Cannot support a host only network (a network without a physical NIC)

Comment 1 Moti Asayag 2014-10-05 08:34:39 UTC
As part of implementing the host network api, we'll introduce a new entity to the API, named Network Attachment.

Network Attachment describes the network which is attached to the host. For 3.6 it will be via a network interface only, while future plans are to support an isolated network which isn't attached to any network interface.

Since the Network Attachment is the entity for describing a network attachment to the host, and it requires to be associated to an existing network on the data-center, unmanaged networks handling will be done differently than <= ovirt-engine 3.5.

Unmanaged networks are networks which are reported by vdsm (hence those networks are reported by libvirt and has the expected prefix of "vdsm-"), but are not identified as networks on the cluster on which the host resides.

Till ovirt-engine-3.5.x we allowed the user to remove those networks via the setup-networks dialog on the host level.

Since ovirt-engine-3.6, those networks should be cleared automatically by the ovirt-engine in the following scenarios:
1. Moving host between data-centers
2. Moving host between clusters
3. Detaching a network from a cluster
4. Removing a network from a data-center
(5. Removing a host from the system ?)

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-10-19 10:59:48 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2015-10-26 12:34:41 UTC
this is an automated message. oVirt 3.6.0 RC3 has been released and GA is targeted to next week, Nov 4th 2015.
Please review this bug and if not a blocker, please postpone to a later release.
All bugs not postponed on GA release will be automatically re-targeted to

- 3.6.1 if severity >= high
- 4.0 if severity < high

Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-11-12 06:17:58 UTC
This bug is not marked for z-stream, yet the milestone is for a z-stream version, therefore the milestone has been reset.
Please set the correct milestone or add the z-stream flag.

Comment 5 Andrew Burden 2015-11-20 05:18:06 UTC
Re-assigning to the rhev-docs queue so that it can be evaluated by our DPM team.

Comment 6 Lucy Bopf 2016-01-27 04:11:11 UTC
Assigning to Tahlia for review.
