I'll create the BZ today.
Thanks for the quick answer!

Thanks so much for the evaluation! Responses below:

Yes... it's an open work item to make all the network configuration
happen immediately rather than after reboot. We'll use libvirt's new
network management API (based on the netcf tool) to do this. Patches
would be welcome :)...

Hmm, this should work. Could you file a Bugzilla bug please?

That is a good idea, again a BZ would be great, but we'll put it on the plan in any case.

> *	Does the live migration work? I've got two nodes and the VM starts on one or another without issues. But when I click on migrate, I can't choose another node

It *should* work, but I'm realizing we didn't test it lately. Make sure
both VMs have the same network connections (I believe we check that
before migration) and are of course in the same hardware pool.

We really really need to add a button for this. Right now you have to do
it in the database.

Yes that is also a good idea... BZ please?

I believe this is an selinux-related bug we just found (can't apply
policy to NFS volumes, so everything on NFS now fails). Any chance you
could try again with selinux turned off on the node (boot with
selinux=0, or log in and issue "setenforce 0")?

Thanks very much, we've done quite a bit on it!

Take care,
