All,
This request comes from experience with many clients. It is somewhat easy to script, but here it goes:
ISSUE:
We currently have the capability to “AUTOMATICALLY” add a network to NEW VMs, but no way to “PRESERVE” existing VM Network IDs and MACs when XenServer interfaces are changed.
SCENARIO:
User has several hundred VMs and needs to change BONDs/Interfaces in XenServer
After breaking bonds or modifying XenServer interfaces, the VMs are no longer associated with a “Network”
REQUEST:
Offer a method where:
-
Modifications to a network interface or Bond notes that “VMs are associated with this network”
-
After changes are made to said interfaces, ask user “Would you like to update your VMs to use this interface and retain Network ID and MAC ADDRESS?”
o
Yes (All)
o
No (List of VMs to apply to or NONE)
I have a script – not currently with me – that I wrote to handle this type of activity as BOND configuration, additions, etc happen all the time and I had one client (achem), have to manually associate all VMs with a specific network bond
that had to be modified.
If this request is not clear, I will reply with the script I wrote and will offer screen shots.
Sincerely,
