Re: [Users] received packet with own address as source address

2013-08-22 Thread Assaf Muller
I'd enable STP on all ports, including the port connecting your switch to the 
school switch.

VSDSM configures the ovirtmgmt bridge on installation. The reason I'm 
suggesting that it's not VDSM at fault but rather the school network having a 
loop is that you mentioned
that you get these messages even with no VMs running.

The switch is connected to the internet via the school's switch. Currently (as 
well as when I received the error messages last time) portfast is disabled for 
all ports, and STP enabled for all ports except for the port connecting my 
switch to the school's.

 Hello,
 
 After I reinstalled the host, the problem seems to have disappeared. This is 
 not to say it's not going to come back, as it has done before. 
 
 I know the nodes were not receiving the error message *before* I installed 
 VDSM (which configured the bridge?), but I haven't tried uninstalling to see 
 if the problem would go away. The problem was also present when I just had 
 one interface connected to the switch, connected to the Internet.
 
 If the problem is indeed a classic L2 loop, how do I go about resolving it? 
 Is it due to bridge (mis)configuration, or is it in the network switch 
 settings? I have tried enabling and disabling STP and portfast, which didn't 
 seem to have any effect.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Haven

 Hello,
 
 I have a oVirt installation with 6 CentOS 6.4 hosts. Some (not all) hosts

Re: [Users] received packet with own address as source address

2013-08-22 Thread H. Haven Liu
While I see the messages even with no VMs running, I don't see any messages 
before installing oVirt. Additionally, is there any reason that the school 
network would selectively affect some nodes but not others?

Thanks

Re: [Users] received packet with own address as source address

2013-08-20 Thread H. Haven Liu
Hello,

After I reinstalled the host, the problem seems to have disappeared. This is 
not to say it's not going to come back, as it has done before. 

I know the nodes were not receiving the error message *before* I installed VDSM 
(which configured the bridge?), but I haven't tried uninstalling to see if the 
problem would go away. The problem was also present when I just had one 
interface connected to the switch, connected to the Internet.

If the problem is indeed a classic L2 loop, how do I go about resolving it? Is 
it due to bridge (mis)configuration, or is it in the network switch settings? I 
have tried enabling and disabling STP and portfast, which didn't seem to have 
any effect.

Thanks,

Haven

 Hello Mr. Liu,
 
 Sounds like a classic L2 loop. Hosts getting their own packets then losing 
 connectivity for a few minutes while the switches restart.
 
 Can you try to rule out this possibility?
 For example:
  If you uninstall the engine and VDSM from all hosts does this still happen?
  Can you simplify the network topology and see if the issue persists?

 Subject: [Users] received packet with own address as source address
 
 Hello,
 
 I have a oVirt installation with 6 CentOS 6.4 hosts. Some (not all) hosts are 
 receiving these error messages, at a frequency of once every other minute:
 
 [root@vhost1 ~]# grep source address /var/log/messages | tail

 Aug 17 11:38:04 vhost1 kernel: em1: received packet with own address as

 These error messages are accompanied with loss of connectivity, with duration 
 varies between a few seconds to minutes. The loss of connectivity would start 
 just before the above error message.
 
 I don't *think* it's hardware because the received packet with own address 
 error message would disappear from one of the hosts after a while. These 
 error messages are also present whether or not any VM is running on the 
 particular host.
 
 Here are some configurations:
