-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 thus Tom Diehl spake: | Hi, | | Has anyone tried upgrading xen domu's from 5.2 to 5.3? I just did a | yum upgrade glibc & yum upgrade yum. All appeared to go well but when I | rebooted and tried to connect to the network, I could not. Looking at | /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I see that the that there is now an ifcfg-eth0 | and an ifcfg-eth0.bak. ifcfg-eth0 now contains configuration for a dynamically | configured interface and ifcfg-eth0.bak has the old static config information. | | In addition, the mac address of the interface has also been changed. I can put | everything back but I would like to know if this behavior is deliberate? If so | how do I revert whatever is making the changes so that this does not happen. | I have software on some of my domu's that requires me to go get new license | keys when mac addresses or ip addresses change. | | So far in my limited testing this only seems to happen on the domu. The dom0 | seems to be OK, although I have not yet rebooted it. | | I did not see anything in the release notes. | | Regards, Hi Tom, you can nail the MAC addresses of the domU's in /etc/xen/auto/config-file: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking#head-d5446face7e308f577e5aee1c72cf9d156903722 (see 'Additional Notes', also). If not set here, they will change every reboot (create, destroy) of domU.
