Nice, do you think I should dedicate a link only for migration, for safety ?

It's not highly used, it's yet on a 10/100 Mb switch...But it's just temporary. 
Anyway it's interesting because it simulates a highly use network, which can 
happen.

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to change anything : I added 
max_outgoing_migrations = 1
migration_max_bandwidth = 5
in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf
on my concerned host, but it still goes to 98% use of network and migration 
fail...I restart vdsmd.service but it doesn't seem to change anything. Any idea 
?

well this is not going to make it any faster, quite the opposite:)
You need to play with the downtime setting (in UI or in vdsm.conf) to affect 
convergence in your constrained connectivity setup

There’s a lot more intelligence in oVirt 4.0 regarding this, so if it’s an 
option I would recommend to upgrade and change the migration policy to one of 
the new ones

Thanks,

[ovirt-users] Migration Failure Due to network

[Alexis HAUSER]

Here are the two Events I can see :
Host Hypervisor has network interface which exceeded the defined threshold 
[95%] (em1: transmit rate[98%], receive rate [4%])
Migration failed  (VM: Clone-ubuntu, Source: Hypervisor, Destination: 
hypervisor22).

Any ideas ?

It it not the first time I have this kind of network saturation issue...
My current temporary setup is this : 2 hosts with only one network physical 
interface used and assigned to ovirtmgmt, used by all VM.
Do migration of a running VM from one host to the other use the network 
assigned to that VM for migration ? Or does it use ovirtmgmt in all cases ?

What minimum network architecture setup would you advice me to avoid this kind 
of issues ?
