on openqaworker-arm-2:19. The machine (was) restarted since then. Right now I can see

$ ssh openqaworker-arm-2 "sudo ovs-vsctl show | grep tap18"
        Port tap18
            Interface tap18

which looks ok.

Steps to reproduce¶

Find jobs referencing this ticket with the help of
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/os-autoinst/scripts/master/openqa-query-for-job-label ,
for example to look for ticket 12345 call openqa-query-for-job-label poo#12345

Problem¶

Maybe inconsistent worker instance and openvswitch setup which resolved itself for now with the machine restart?

Suggestion¶

• Look into older related tickets #75274 and #88807 if there are suggestions we can follow or what improvements we can apply.
• Can we add a call to ovs-vsctl show into post_fail_hooks of tests?

Workaround¶

Likely retriggering works if jobs end up on other instances or machines
