I'm building an opennebula cloud, and I have openvswitch master running on squeeze kvm host nodes with 3.5.4 as bridge br0 with a single port (eth0 at the moment). Each host node also has a Mellanox QDR HCA for storage connectivity. I've configured an ipoib interface (ib0) as well on each node. eth0 and ib0 are on separate subnets. Thinking it would be faster to use ib0 as the bridge port, rather than eth0, I reconfigured all the bridges in /etc/network/interfaces to use ib0, removing eth0 as a port in the file, and bounced the cluster. couple of things happened: * ib0 did get added as a port, but eth0 remained unexpectedly (I had to del-port it) (that may be by design though, dunno) * I could not pass traffic through br0 when ib0 was a port. * I could ping the bridge with ib0 from it's owning host, but not from outside. (assuming it's just br0 answering, and ib0 is non-functional) I'm confused about what is happening. By itself, the ib0 is functioning fine, and the bridge works fine with eth0. Is it because ib0 is not a real ethernet nic, per se, that I can't make this work? Was it dumb to even try it? Or, am I just missing something obvious?
