[Xen-users] xen 3.4.3 on CentOS 5.5 dom0: multiple nic issue -- eth1 won''t restart
Hi Folks:
I have a strange problem with multiple (2) NICs on a CentOS 5.5 dom0
setup running xen 3.4.3 and have been struggling to fix it for some
time. I could not find anything by googling or searching through this
list but that is probably because I couldn''t figure out the correct
search terms.
After I configure my bridges the command "system network restart"
fails
for eth1 but xenbr1 shows up correctly and everything seems to work: my
dom0 and domUs can see the network.
Here is the error message:
dom0 # service network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1: bnx2 device eth1 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
How can I get rid of the error message? My guess is that I am doing
something wrong but I can''t figure out what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the ifconfig output. As you can see xenbr1 is there but it
contains the "inet addr" and HWaddr" I would expect to see on
eth1. Is
that okay? I assumed it was because everything works but its existence
means that eth1 doesn''t exist.

I setup the multiple NICs support as follows:
dom0 # mv /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge{,-xen}
dom0 # # create new network-bridge file
dom0 # cat /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge
#!/bin/sh
# Exit if anything goes wrong.
set -e
# First arg is the operation.
OP=$1
shift
script=/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge-xen
case ${OP} in
start)
$script start vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
$script start vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
# $script start vifnum=2 bridge=xenbri netdev=dummy0
;;
stop)
$script stop vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
$script stop vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
# $script stop vifnum=2 bridge=xenbri netdev=dummy0
;;
status)
$script status vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
$script status vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
# $script status vifnum=2 bridge=xenbri netdev=dummy0

echo ''Unknown command: '' ${OP}
