Description Pratik Pravin Bandarkar 2013-07-25 16:13:18 UTC
Description of problem:
While system bootup, for some reason network interface was not detected. This issue got resolved after some time. ethtool <ethX> / ifconfig was showing the interface. But,  still "getVdsStats" output was not detecting the interface and as a result, vdsm was assuming the interface is not present on the system. As a workaround we manually restarted the "vdsmd" service. Then, it(vdsm) detected the interface. 


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

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.  
3.

Actual results:
Even after network issue got resolved, "getVdsStats" output was not showing the interface and as a result, vdsm was assuming the interface is not present on the system. Manual intervention(service vdsmd restart) is needed to tell vdsm that, ethX interface is up. 

Expected results:
Once network issue is resolved and respective ethX interface detected by the system, changes should automatically reflect to vdsm. Manual intervention should not be there. 

Additional info:

Comment 1 Pratik Pravin Bandarkar 2013-07-25 16:27:53 UTC
I can reproduce the issue on nested virtulization:

1. start the hypervisor.
2. add NIC on the fly.
3. check if its detected by system from dmesg/ethtool ethX
4. Check if the same NIC gets displayed in:
---
 vdsClient -s 0 getVdsStats | egrep --color eth
---
it will not be there.

5. Now restart the vdsmd service:
6. Now you can see new interface from "vdsClient -s 0 getVdsStats" output.

Comment 2 psebek 2013-10-30 13:22:58 UTC
In my patch should be hotplugged devices visible in vdsStats after 10 seconds after devices are plugged.
