I''m running Xen 4.0.0 on openSuSE 11.3, and I''m having issues with hotplug scripts not working correctly. If I create a domU, I can start it correctly exactly once - if it shuts down or restarts, I can no longer start it, and I get the error message: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. If I reboot dom0, I can boot the domU, again, exactly once, and then I cannot start it anymore. If I look at ifconfig, xenstore, etc., it seems that the hotplug scripts are not cleaning things up correctly when the domU shuts down the first time - vif1.0 remains up, connected to my bridge, and available in both ifconfig and xenstore. If I do some debugging on udev and the hotplug scripts, I see that the vif-bridge script is actually not being called at all when the domU shuts down. Can anyone offer any advice? I''ve search and looked at some of the archives, but none of them seems to match this situation.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612006 Opensuse 11.3 with KOTD will fix this problem as of July 2010. See above thread which kept me entertained for a few weeks. --- On Fri, 8/20/10, Mark Pryor <tlviewer@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Mark Pryor <tlviewer@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Xen Hotplug Issues To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Received: Friday, August 20, 2010, 10:21 PM Hello, --- On Fri, 8/20/10, Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@seakr.com> wrote:> From: Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@seakr.com> > Subject: [Xen-users] Xen Hotplug Issues > To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com > Date: Friday, August 20, 2010, 6:56 PM > I''m running Xen 4.0.0 on openSuSE > 11.3, and I''m having issues with hotplug scripts not working > correctly.

It is kind of a strange bug (or two or three) to have left out there for the official release of openSuSE 11.3. Adding that repo works great - thanks! -Nick -------- This e-mail may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Okay, that''s solved, but I''m hitting another issue, now. When I start VMs, the MAC address of my dom0 is changing to some very random addresses. One of the systems has had all of the following MAC addresses over the past three days: b8:ac:6f:a3:e:e5 96:15:8b:65:4e:b8 82:30:42:d9:a6:79 5e:9:f3:fa:a1:7c b6:cc:c:42:44:70 72:40:f7:66:8e:72 The first one is the real MAC address of the system, the next five are seemingly random MAC addresses that don''t correspond with either the host MAC address or the VM MAC address. It seems to be using these MAC addresses in dom0 for the DHCP-assigned address on my bridge. So, it isn''t as if interfaces are being added to the bridge and they''re picking up new IP addresses, it''s as if the system is sending out packets of some sort with a source IP address the same as the bridge, but with several different MAC addresses. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. -Nick>>> On 2010/08/20 at 20:21, Mark Pryor <tlviewer@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > --- On Fri, 8/20/10, Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@seakr.com> wrote: > >> From: Nick Couchman <Nick.Couchman@seakr.com> >> Subject: [Xen-users] Xen Hotplug Issues >> To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com >> Date: Friday, August 20, 2010, 6:56 PM >> I''m running Xen 4.0.0 on openSuSE >> 11.3, and I''m having issues with hotplug scripts not working >> correctly.
