Oracle VM 3.0.1 - PVM Guest fail to start "Could not find bridge device"
Hello,
I have setup an OVM 3.0.1 enviroment for testing purpose with the following resources:
-- 2 Dell PowerEdge 2850 (Only 2 NICs each server, VT Support not available) with OVM Server 3.0.1
-- Dell XPS Laptop with Oracle Linux 5.7 and OVM Manager 3.0.1
-- An old PC Box with OpenFiler 2.3 with 2 iSCSI targets configured (one small target for ServerPool FS and another for Storage Repository)
After some good reading (both here at the forums and the OVM User Guide), now I have the Server Pool running with cluster and HA options. Since I only have 2 Ports on the OVM Servers, one is used for the public LAN and the other in an isolated small network for Storage with the Openfiler. VLANs are never used in this setup and the only bond configured is the one that the initial installation of OVM Server does (and is conected to the pulbic LAN).
In the OVM Manager I created a network with the Storage Role and both servers and ports are included there. Next, I modified the default Network that the Manager creates at the discovery process (the management one) and added the Role of Virtual Machine. The problem comes when I try to start a fresh created PVM Guest (from the first time, I havent been lucky installing a new guest), here is an output of the "Details" of the "Start Virtual Machine" Job...

10.0.0.0 is the default name for management network with the Virtual Machine Role.
Currently I'm stoped here, I cant find where could be the problem. Any help or hints that you could give me for this would be appreciated.
