Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.4.1-rc7 network problem (vif/tap)

Maybe here is an interesting part :

The script is just waiting at :
[2009-07-22 19:30:22 4325] DEBUG (DevController:139) Waiting for devices vif.
[2009-07-22 19:30:22 4325] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1709) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch
[2009-07-22 19:30:22 4325] DEBUG (DevController:144) Waiting for 0.
[2009-07-22 19:30:22 4325] DEBUG (DevController:629) hotplugStatusCallback /local/domain/0/backend/vif/5/0/hotplug-status.

If I look closer into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xen/xend/server/DevController.py after line 629, there is a call to xstransact.Read(statusPath) that never answers.

Well, I had exactly the same problem by configuring the bridge with the provided network-bridge script or externally through the ubuntu /etc/network/interfaces parameters, and with both eth0 and xenbr0 default bridge interface name.
I just reverted back to eth0 as default bridge name, and network-bridge script executing at the xend init script. So, after a fresh reboot I have only eth0 up with the dhcp configured address.

After starting /etc/init.d/xend, everything is OK, and the bridge is correctly configured :

At this step, if I manually unpause the domain, and cancel the xm create comand to avoid it to destroy the domU after timeout, the domU starts and the network is working.
If I just wait, the domU will be destroyed after timeout, and the tap interface will be removed from the bridge.
So, it really seems to come from the vif-bridge script, but how can I debug it ? Which arguments are passed to it ?

I guess , yes.

However,please, post:-

# brctl show
# ifconfig
Content /etc/init.d/networking (how you configure the bridge ?)
Profile of your DomU

Hi,

I'm now blocked for 2 days on getting the network to work in my domU. Here is
the problem :

The domU refuses to start when a vif is configured. It's just staying paused
for about 1m40s, then the xm create command line give back with an
"Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.",
and the domU is destroyed.

Nothing particular in the xend.log, xend-debug.log or qemu-dm-domUname.log.

However, if I manually unpause the domU, and cancel (<CTRL><C>) the xm create
command to avoid the destruction of the domU after the 1m40s timeout, I get a
perfectly working domU with Network. Strangely, the vif network interfaces are
now named tap[domUid].[interface#] (ie tap2.0).

So, my questions :
- Why is there no clear log about vif-bridge script, and how can I debug this
script.
- Why are the interfaces named tapX.X instead of vifX.X ?
- Is there a default name for the bridge interface ? I'm currently using
xenbr0, but I see that some documentations are talking about eth0, should I
use eth0 as default bridge name ?


Thanks,

FranÃois.
