Good day all,
I have having an issue starting virtual networks defined within libvirt:
virsh # net-start cmdb error: Failed to start network cmdb error: internal error: Child process (VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virbr3 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/cmdb.conf -- leasefile-ro --dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper) unexpected exit status 2: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 172.26.80.1: Address already in use
I saw similar reports recently and from the system journal noticed that named started listening on the address as soon as it appeared, before dnsmasq could begin listening. Is the named service running on your system? If so, you could try disabling it and then check if the cmdb network successfully starts.
Hi Jim I have locked named to only listen on the primary IP address, and my networks are now starting! Thanks very much for your help. Cheers Iain
