Dear All, I am new to xen and recently implemented it. i had some issues initially but googling arround managed to clear them. now I have 2 virtual machines on my xen domains one is windows 2003 and other windows2008 both the virtual machines were working fine recently we had a change in our network . i mean we rearanged the vlans so the linux host server which runs xen was moved to another vlan then i fould that i could not ping the linux xen host . on further investigations i fould that there was another file created for my ethernet device ifcfg-eth1.bak and also ifcfg-eth1 existed. the ifcfg-eth0 existed as before the right config for my eth1 was there in ifcfg-eth1.bak file so i renamed the ifcfg-eth1.bak to ifcfg-eth1 and did a network service restart and then found that i could reach the xen host server . but fould that one of my virtual server was shut i tried to restart it in virt-manager but it gave a error although the other virtual machine was running so i tried to restart my linix xen host server and then found that the virtual server which was running also had not started . so i tried to start it and it would not start and after long time gives error here below i paste the error message googling arround did not lead me to any possible solution really would apprecite if any guys out there would advice and help thanks and regards simon ----------------------------- /var/messages log....
