Dear developers!
I''ve found that recent xen releases cannot be simly run on openSUSE!
The
script /etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh makes some incorrect
assumptions on the SuSE ifup script. Bridged xen networking only works
if the script executes this branch:
preiftransfer()
{
true
}
ifup()
{
false
}
ifdown()
{
false
}
Otherwise the xen networking scripts fail to put the main bridge (called
eth0 on my servers) into the up state, because it thinks that it''s
already up, but it''s down in fact! So, I think the mentioned script
should choose the branch above, if it finds the file /etc/SuSE-release.
Or something like that.
Best regards:
Tamas Nemeth

Nemeth,
AFAIK, this is not the proper list for messages to developers.
Thank You,

Take a look at this - http://www.novell.com/communities/node/5071/sles-10-sp2-networking-under-xen-troubleshooting-and-recommendations Novell recommends a manual bridging setup using ''standard'' SuSE scripts and disable Xen ''network-bridge'' scripts. The document describes SLES, but I use the same approach on several OpenSuSE based Xen servers, some of then featuring three network cards and VLAN''s (that''s where things got complicated with Xen scripts). OTOH I never had a problem with OpenSuSE and Xen scripts when only one network card was used.
