[Bug 217177] New: Cannot start Xen network bridge when using eth4
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217177 Summary: Cannot start Xen network bridge when using eth4 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Xen AssignedTo: kallan@novell.com ReportedBy: jdouglas@novell.com QAContact: jdouglas@novell.com CC: lbendixs@novell.com On our warthog systems, there are 5 nics and nics 0-3 do not work (they cause data corruption). Therefore, my only configured interface is eth4. When I run the network-bridge script, I receive the following error which prevents networking from being configured: Link veth4 is missing. This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of interfaces that the loopback driver supports. If the loopback driver is a module, you may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if the driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the parameter using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command line. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217177 ------- Comment #1 from jdouglas@novell.com 2006-11-01 15:14 MST ------- To workaround this issue, start the network-bridge script and pass in parameters to specify the bridge, netdev, and vifnum. For example, /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start bridge=xenbr0 vifnum=0 netdev=eth4 These values can also be added to /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp to make them persistent across reboots. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The nloopbacks parameter can be used to change the default number of interfaces. To do so, edit the /etc/init.d/rc<X>.d/S<Y>xend file where X is the run-level and Y is the start number. For example, to set the number of interfaces to 8 for run-level 5 in S10xend, edit /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S10xend. Modify the 'modprobe netloop' line to include nloopbacks e.g. 'modprobe netloop nloopbacks=8'. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
