RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:0033 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ovirt-node bug fix and enhancement update 2014-01-22 00:14:30 UTC

Description Moti Asayag 2013-05-28 12:50:14 UTC 
When configuring a network on ovirt-node, the created network is implemented as a bridge type with no option to control it otherwise.

A nic could serve as a storage network, a management network, or another kind of usages which doesn't require the traffic to flow through a bridge device, with its added latency and cpu overhead.

Bridges should be used only when virtual machines are expected to be connected via the edited network (or at least, there should be a means to avoid the bridge elsewhere).
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 03:29:48 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Fabian Deutsch 2013-10-21 20:10:18 UTC 
NICs can no be configured without being the slave of a bridge.
This feature got available due to the rebase onto 3.0.
