Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Network hierarchies were processed in isolation, so if a network was added over a device in use by another network, adding the new network would momentarily take down the device to reconfigure it, regardless of whether reconfiguration was necessary. This update introduces configuration matching to check if a device needs reconfiguring and only interrupts its connectivity in such cases. Now, networks can be added over devices without affecting other networks as long as they do not alter the common devices' configuration.

Description Antoni Segura Puimedon 2013-07-09 12:55:15 UTC
Description of problem: One of the supported use cases of vdsm networking is to have an interface (nic or bond) that supports a variety of vlanned networks on top of it. To do so, each vlanned network is added after another over the interface. This can be done in a single operation (which does not expose the bug) of setupNetworks, or it can happen over time.

In the latter scenario, if I add a vlanned network now and start using it for services, the current behavior of taking down the vlanned network underlying interface before taking it up again will cause an interruption of the previously configured network.


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


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a vlanned network over a bond.
2. Create a second vlanned network over the same bond.

Actual results:
You can see in the logs that the bond is taken down and up in step two.

Expected results:
Since the bond configuration passed in step 2 is the same as in the existing bond set up in step 1, we should not take the bond down, just create the vlan over it.
