Description Guy 2021-03-10 11:01:08 UTC

Description of problem:

When trying to update network filter parameter on a live update through the rest api (running VM), then the DB is getting updated (presented in the UI), but in fact the libvirt XML on the host does not get updated.

Note: It's worth to mention that it is reproducible only through rest api. In case making a live update through the UI, then the libvirt XML on the host is getting updated well.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-engine-4.4.5.8-0.1.el8ev.noarch


How reproducible: always 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create network filter parameter on VM vNIC.
2. start the VM.
3. try to update the network filter value through the rest API using the following request:

PUT <engine_fqdn>/vms/<vm_id>/nics/<nic_id>/networkfilterparameters/<network_filter_id>

body request: 

<network_filter_parameter>
  <name><any_filter_name></name>
  <value>any_filter_value</value>
</network_filter_parameter>


Actual results:

the ovirt engine returns 200 OK and a valid body response and the UI is getting updated indeed, but the libvirt XML on the host is not.

Expected results:

the UI is getting updated and libvirt XML on the host gets updated too.

Comment 2 Martin Perina 2021-03-10 12:49:37 UTC

Workaround is to use UI until RESTAPI part is fixed

verified POST {fqdn}/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm_id}/nics/{nic_id}/networkfilterparameters works as expected

verified PUT {fqdn}/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm_id}/nics/{nic_id}/networkfilterparameters/{network_filter_id} works as expected

verified DELETE {fqdn}/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm_id}/nics/{nic_id}/networkfilterparameters/{network_filter_id} works as expected
