up till libvirt 0.10.0, i.e. RHEL 6.3 there was a default maximum speed of migrating VM of 30Mbps. vdsm relied on the default libvirt/qemu behavior. This was changed in 6.4 nd so starting with RHEV-M 3.1.3 there is no limit enforced anymore. This can cause overload of network interfaces as the whole bandwidth is used in case of mass migration (either manual or induced by moving a host to maintenance mode) The fix would be to use the former 30Mbps value as the default in vdsm config. something like: - ('migration_max_bandwidth', '0', - 'Maximum bandwidth for migration, in mbps, 0 means libvirt\'s ' - 'default (30mbps?).'), + ('migration_max_bandwidth', '30', + 'Maximum bandwidth for migration, in mbps, 0 means unlimited, former libvirt\'s ' + 'default is 30Mbps.'), plus we need to fix upgrade as well, I guess
