Hi all, could someone help me with this issue?, someone had this issue in the past?, is there any documentation?

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking for information regarding the maximum number of network interfaces that a PV can have.

I need to create a PV (VyOS - it's a debian), with more than 15 NICs, but when I try to add more, I get:

[ÂÂÂ 0.209088] xen_netfront: can't alloc rx grant refs
[ÂÂÂ 0.209268] vif vif-15: 12 creating netdev
[ÂÂÂ 0.212789] vif vif-15: failed to write error node for device/vif/15 (12 creating netdev)
[ÂÂÂ 0.214610] vif vif-15: 12 xenbus_dev_probe on device/vif/15
[ÂÂÂ 0.215347] vif vif-15: failed to write error node for device/vif/15 (12 xenbus_dev_probe on device/vif/15)



The machine boots with only 15 NICs. Is there a way to change that?

if I try to do the same, with the same VM on a older Xen I get more NICs (older: release : 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5xen)
