Hello.
I am using libvirt and KVM for a VDI project. It works fine,
great job ! I have only a small issue that bothers some
users from time to time.
This is libvirt-bin 2.5.0-3ubuntu5.5.
When restoring a saved domain that has been many hours or
days down, the network address may be taken by some other
virtual machine. Then both are in conflict.
I found this patch:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-October/msg00561.html
And I tried setting it in my host but it discards silently
my settings after doing virsh net-edit. So It may not be
apllied to the 2.5.0 release ?
That's what I tried:
<dhcp>
<leasetime>24h</leasetime>
<range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
</dhcp>
I also tried leasetime -1 with the same results.
I also found about adding infinite to the dhcp-range at
/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf. But this file has
a comment about it shouldn't be edited and it should be
done with net-edit. But I don't know how to add this
tag to the network.
dhcp-range=192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254,infinite
Any hints ? Thank you for your time.
