Apparently it doesnt work that way.
Maybe it does - please try or wait for someone in the know (such as mst) to explain. The thing is that afaik http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesDirect creates the macvtap devices for you, and it creates one device per one virtual function. > > > > > > Yes, defining a libvirt network requires using > > > > virsh net-define <xmlfile> > > > > (you may need to pass the not-so-secret vdsm@ovirt/shibboleth password > > to tinker with libvirt, which is better done on non-production setup) > > > > virsh net-dumpxml <net-name> > > > > could show you what's already defined, but I don't expect you to have > > interesting networks as of yet. > > > Thanks, ill start fooling around with virsh net-define and virsh > net-dumpxml then. > > > > > > It may not be easy, but I'd be grateful if you report here on what you > > will have accomplished. > > > No problem.

NB: Even if it is possible to define a libvirt network with several pre-created macvtaps, you'd need something like vdsm-hook-extnet to convince oVirt to use your network instead of a bridge.
