Changes

During installation of OVS, the box "disable the bond0" at Oracle VM Management Interface page was checked.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-vm/3.4/install/vmiug-ovs-install-x86.html
"As of Oracle VM Release 3.4.4, an option is available that allows you to disable the default network bond that is created during installation. This network bond is called bond0 and it should only be disabled for specific configurations approved by Oracle. Contact your Oracle support representative for more information if required."
