I wanted to know if it's possible to use OVN networking and virtio simultaneously in the same VM? Or am I wasting my time trying to get it to work?
When I try to define a VM and power it on with both types defined, networking fails to work on both. E.g.:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<source bridge='foo'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<target dev='devfoo'/>
</interface>
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<source bridge='bar'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<target dev='devbar'/>
</interface>
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/>
<source bridge='foo2'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<target dev='devfoo2/>
</interface>
Notice the 'virtio' setting on the third NIC. If I remove that NIC from the xml or if set that NIC as a virtualport on openvswitch like the other two NICs, networking works fine.
Am I missing something? Or is this a silly question to even ask?
