Oracle VM Bug Fix Advisory OVMBA-2017-0087

The following updated rpms for Oracle VM 3.4 have been uploaded to the

Description of changes:

[3.4.3-7]
- Change VXLAN underlying interface name from bond2 to pca_tun to reduce 
conflict.
   This makes bond2.4090 pca_tun.4090. [bug 25767180]

[3.4.3-6]
- Persist disabling of multicast snooping on a bridge [bug 25863456]

[3.4.3-5]
- Preserving the same ETHTOOL_OPTS in config file when removing bridge over
   vlan Acknowledged by Adnan Misherfi<adnan.misherfi at oracle.com> [bug 
25186932]

[3.4.3-4]
- This patch is to support the manager fix to address the VCA VLAN segment
   provisioning problem.
   The changes in the manager and the serve are as follow:
   -The manager removes two network discover per VLAN interface creation.To
   support that the server changes are:
   - When Adding a vlan return if the vlan already exists instead of 
exiting with error
   - When removing a vlan return if the vlan does not exist instead of 
exiting with error. [bug 25797034]

[3.4.3-3]
- Add XML RPC API to add/delete VXLAN interfaces on top of 
physical,bonds,and VLAN interfaces.
   VXLAN interface names  created are of the form (vxlanX, like vxlan5, 
vxlan400 ...etc)
   Add network discovery for VXLAN. VXLAN interfaces show up in the 
discover as any
   other other interface but with names like ( <Device Name="vxlan5">).
   Network discovery does not return bond2.4090 because it the base line 
interface for PCA.
   Change the MTU to 1550 of the underlying interfaces so that the 
payload of the VXLAN is 1500.
   IF the MTU of the underlying interface is 9000, then the payload of 
the VXLAN is 1850. MTU > 9000
   is not supported by the interfaces. [bug 25767180]

[3.4.3-2]
- The ovs-agent code could not distinguish local root disk
   partitions from LUN disk names when number of LUNs on the
   system is getting big. Implemented new 'get_dev_partitions(device)'
   function to be called whenever partitioning info for a device
   in question is needed.
