xen-4.4.4-2.el6 packages added to virt6-xen-44-testing
by Johnny Hughes 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

All, I have upgraded xen-44 from Xen-4.4.3 to Xen-4.4.4 (and placed the resulting RPMs from xen-4.4.4-2.el6.src.rpm into virt6-xen-44-testing). These RPMs have all the latest updates that were rolled into the xen-4.4.3-14.el6.src.rpm packages (through XSA-172 updates). Here is how to test: 1. If you want this box to always have 'testing' enabled for xen-44 .. do this: Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen-44.repo and set 'Enabled=1' in the [centos-virt-xen-44-testing] and then do: yum update (In this case, the testing repo remains enabled) 2. If you would rather not turn on testing permanently, but just want to test these updates (and leave only the main repo enabled by default), then do this: yum --enablerepo centos-virt-xen-44-testing update ============== The above assumes you have followed George's instructions and have removed centos-release-xen and centos-rtelease-xen-46 and have installed centos-release-xen-44 to stay on the Xen-4.4 branch, and have not upgraded to Xen-4.6. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Hi, Centos 7 Xen4CentOS - 4.6.1 Open vSwitch When i specify custom name of the domU NIC than it refues to start vif = [ 'vifname=vNIC1' ] libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-openvswitch online [10168] exited with error status 1 libxl: error: libxl_device.c:1084:device_hotplug_child_death_cb: script: ip link set vif38.0 name vNIC1 failed libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1381:domcreate_attach_vtpms: unable to add nic devices libxl: error: libxl.c:1591:libxl__destroy_domid: non-existant domain 38 libxl: error: libxl.c:1549:domain_destroy_callback: unable to destroy guest with domid 38 libxl: error: libxl.c:1476:domain_destroy_cb: destruction of domain 38 failed When removed the vifname settings the domU starts just fine. vif = [ '' ] Same error when used wi classic Bridge for networking. Is vifname setting still supported? On CentOS5 & Xen 3.4 this parameter works just fine. Regards
