http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491929 Summary: domUs not working after update to 11.1 (no bridge found) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: cgriffin@novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- today I did update my XEN server from 11.0 to 11.1 (plus patches/updates). with 11.1 none of my xen domains did start anymore ("... Could not find bridge, and none was specified"). after quite some testing and tracing I found the following hint in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp : # SuSE users note: # On openSUSE >= 11.1 and SLES >= 11, networks should be configured using # native platform tool - YaST. vif-bridge and qemu-ifup can be used to # connect vifs to the YaST-managed networks. #(network-script network-bridge) (network-script ) at least for me that was quite non-obvious and I can't find any hint about that new "feature" in the release notes. is it just me, or isn't that really documented anywhere ? IMHO it's not that difficult to convert the old ifcfg-eth0 to a new ifcfg-br0 (at least if XEN is installed and used and if there are xemdomains installed....). if that's not possible I'd have liked to see a big red warning hing somewhere my my xen domains won't start up anymore :-( -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, if you upgrade from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, the upgrade does not configure the bridged setup automatically. Please start the "YaST Control Center", choose "Virtualization" and then "Install Hypervisor and Tools" to start the bridge proposal for networking. Alternatively you can call yast2 xen on the commandline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Online (and most recent) version of SLES11 release notes are here: http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11/ The openSUSE11.1 release notes http://www.suse.com/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/11.1/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html do not have a similar statement. Are the online openSUSE release notes updated? If so, can we add the above statement? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thus I will add it. I'd appreciate feedback, though. ============================================================================== XEN Configuration ================= Updating from openSUSE 11.0 to openSUSE 11.1 with the Xen Hypervisor may have an incorrect network configuration, because the update does not configure the bridged setup automatically. Start the "YaST Control Center", choose "Virtualization" and then "Install Hypervisor and Tools" to start the bridge proposal for networking. Alternatively you can call "yast2 xen" on the commandline. Note, if you install openSUSE 11.1 and configure Xen, you get a bridged setup through YaST automatically. ============================================================================== -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
