Description Javier Coscia 2017-03-24 20:15:30 UTC
Description of problem:

One can expect the VM has network connectivity after importing / starting it in the destination environment, but actually, VM has no network connectivity if it was configured in the source environment with a vNIC profile/Logical Network that doesn't exist in the destination environment, which is an expected behavior, but still I think a note clarifying this would be nice to have in the VMM Guide under section "6.12 Exporting and importing virtual machines and templates", maybe as a general note or even in 6.12.3 section

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHVM 4.0.x VMM Guide

Actual results:

== No information about importing a VM with a vNIC profile which doesn't exist in the destination environment. One has to re-configure VM's network devices to have a working connectivity again

Expected results:

== I think we should add a note in the documentation stating that the vNIC profile must exist in destination environment to avoid re-configuring VM's network devices once they are imported. Also, MAC address ranges modifications to match what was configured in the source environment, should be added

Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2017-03-29 11:48:45 UTC
This will be included in 4.1 GA which will be out soon.
Therefore closing. See RFE BZ #1226206 and BZ #1277675.
