[one-users] Dealing with port mirroring

Hi all,

I have a computer running OpenNebula 3.8 and two hosts running KVM 
(creating a cluster). I've configured open vswitch on both hosts and I 
would like to prepare a VM acting as an IDS. For that reason, I've 
configured Open vSwitch with a span port (port mirroring) in that 
virtual switch. The issue is that virtual nic (vnet) of the VM seems to 
be created on the host only after deployment. So, what about when the VM 
is expected to migrate/move from one host to another? Is there any 
automated way to manage the creation of that port mirroring regardless 
of the host the VM is running?
I've been dealing with /one/remotes/vnm/ovswitch/OpenvSwitch.rb trying 
to modify post command behaviour without success.


Thanks in advance,

Carlos.
