Hello all,

after a misconfigured setup of a couple of VMs, the live migration of those VMs failed.

Now we have some "No such device" listings in openvswitch for those VMs on some compute nodes.

(openvswitch-vswitchd)[root@ewos1-com1-prod /]# ovs-vsctl show

there are no tap devices or bridge devices on the compute node, but still the entry in openvswitch

root@computenode5:~# brctl show | grep 5b1aac7e
root@computenode5:~#

Is that an issue? if yes, should we remove the ports manually or reboot the compute nodes?

Could that lead to networking issues?

kind regards

Nicolas
