Changeset 15168:a717cb2fac90 altered check_name() in XendDomainInfo so that it compares domain IDs instead of UUIDs. This breaks a number of things - You can no longer use 'xm new' to define a persistent config file for a running guest. This breaks the key OS provisioning scenario where you boot a kenrel+initrd for the installer, and at the same time define a permanent config with pygrub. - It lets you define multiple inactive guests with different UUIDs, but the same name because all inactive guests have a domid of None. So you can now end up with multiple guests with same name, which is contrary to the goal implied by the patch which was name uniqueness. It is unclear from the original commit logs just what scenario it was trying to protect against, but the original checking of uniqueness based on UUID was correct & is what was used in previous releases XenD.

I'm wondering what you think about a Virtualization:Xen project in OBS? There is already KVM, VMWare, VirtualBox while Xen is missing currently.

Agreed, should be there. Sigh ... Another thing to add to my overflowing list :-/. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
