[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#678723: xcp-xapi: vif-interfaces added to database as PIF's

[George Shuklin]

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-6
Severity: normal

After some time of rebooting and toolstack restart found very funny output in 'xe pif-lis':

 xe pif-list params=currently-attached,device
device ( RO)                : vif2.0
    currently-attached ( RO): false


device ( RO)                : vif211.0
    currently-attached ( RO): false


device ( RO)                : eth1
    currently-attached ( RO): true


device ( RO)                : eth1
    currently-attached ( RO): true


device ( RO)                : eth0
    currently-attached ( RO): true


device ( RO)                : eth0
    currently-attached ( RO): true


device ( RO)                : vif9.0
    currently-attached ( RO): false


I've done some additional research and found it happens on host with incorrect network configuration: ip address configured in /etc/network/interfaces with brutils and network backed was openvswitch. This cause errors with vif plugging to bridge, but same time cause xapi marks those vif's as PIF (physical interfaces).
