Virtual Machines stop communicating over the Linux bridge when using Emulex Network cards
Issue
On a physical host that runs a number of virtual machines connected externally via a bridge we observe that traffic between a VM and the external network suddenly stops working. The host NICs used in the bridge are produced by Emulex.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Virtual Machines running on the host via KVM and connected via the Linux software bridge
- Emulex NICs
