Hello Jakub,

I will try again but if there is a bug on queens I do not think it will be corrected because is going out of support.

Thanks

Hi Ignazio,

I think the first step - migrating from hybrid_iptables to ovs should
not create the qbr on the target node. It sounds like a bug - IIRC the
libvirt domxml should not have the qbr when migrating.
