[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#718864: wrong default route

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-15
Severity: important


New wheezy box

Follow the setup instructions for xcp-xapi, choosing openvswitch networking

Only loopback is defined in /etc/network/interfaces (the way it should
be for XCP)

IP address, router, DNS has been configured statically with
pif-reconfigure-ip

After reboot, the IP address is assigned correctly on the bridge
interface but some incorrect default gateway appears in the routing table

The root cause of this problem was that NetworkManager was on the
machine and somehow it had configured a default route, either clobbering
the route created by XCP or deterring XCP from setting up routes

Maybe XCP needs to conflict: network-manager  until a more elegant
solution can be developed?  It's unlikely anybody needs NM or Gnome in a
dom0 anyway
