Description Dominik Holler 2017-11-10 03:52:11 EST

Add a boolean property to external network providers, which enables the automatic synchronization with all clusters that have that external provider as the default provider.

On import of a new network from the provider,
 - the networks of the external provider will be imported to every data center
   in the set of datacenters of the clusters that have that external provider
   as the default provider,
 - a vNIC profile will be created for every involved data center and network
   and
 - the networks will be assigned to every cluster that has that external
   provider as the default provider.
 - All users are allowed to use the new vNIC Profile.

Comment 1 Dominik Holler 2017-11-10 07:07:18 EST

The default value of the new property is 'true', that means that the auto sync is enabled by default.

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2017-11-22 04:02:23 EST

The documentation text flag should only be set after 'doc text' field is provided. Please provide the documentation text and set the flag to '?' again.

Comment 3 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2017-12-12 05:02:51 EST

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 5 Mor 2018-01-25 09:23:25 EST

I am currently running RHV 4.2.1.3-0.1.el7, but I do not any checkbox for enabling it. I am running the latest RHV build (BUILD VERSION: 4.2.1-5 [TARGET MILESTONE: ovirt-4.2.1] [25-01-2018])

Comment 6 Dominik Holler 2018-01-25 10:45:09 EST

Currently, the property is only available in rest-api and not available in webadmin. For backward compatibility, the property is set to 'disabled' by default in rest-api and webadmin. If you think the property should be available in webadmin, please create a bug with a proposed default value to track this.
