RHEV host install always creates a 'rhevm' bridge - even if 'rhevm' is not a VM network
Issue
The rhevm management network is configured within my RHEV-M DataCenter as "non-VM", i.e. configured to be only used for management and not to run Virtual Machines.
In the RHEV hosts, networks that are meant to be accessed by Virtual Machines are created as a software bridge, where all the involved physical interfaces and the multiple VM's virtual NICs communicate.
If the rhevm network is configured as non-VM, it shouldn't belong to such a bridge.
However, the host install always create a rhevm
bridge - irrespective of whether the rhevm logical network is a VM network or not.
