Yes, exactly and executing
'#onevnet update 294' is not enough

We have checked as you have suggested ON database, and yes the xml field
was not updated... (maybe is this an ON issue?)

It was changed <BRIDGE><![CDATA[virbrB]]></BRIDGE>, but
<BRIDGE>virbrA</BRIDGE> is still the same so the VMs are not
instantiated correctly.

We have changed it (<BRIDGE>virbrB</BRIDGE>
..<BRIDGE><![CDATA[virbrB]]></BRIDGE>...) and now its working fine.


Cheers and thanks!
Alvaro
