Create RHEL 7.1 guest on RHEV 2. Start ovirt-guest-agent on guest Actual results: Failure to start with traceback shown above. Expected results: successful agent start Additional info: This can be worked around by manually changing the ownership of /dev/vport0p1 to ovirtagent:ovirtagent instead of root:root
