Hi list,
this probably isn't a completely libvirt-specific question but I'll try anyway. Please ignore if it is too much off-topic.
On an Ubuntu (9.10) virtualisation host, running KVM and libvirt and several guests (Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server 2003) in a bridged network fashion [1,2] I noticed that performing
/etc/init.d/networking restart
on the host completely cuts off all guests from the network. I have to manually shutdown and restart (virsh shutdown GUEST && virsh start GUEST, a mere reboot doesn't suffice) them to get them onto the network again. Obviously that's not ideal.
Is this the expected behaviour? Can I somehow re-establish guest network connectivity without shutting down the guest first? Is my setup somehow wrong or do I expect too much?
Unfortunately, that is the expected behavior. If you do:
Hi, thank you for the clarification and confirmation. I'll be keeping it in mind. Hopefully libvirt will someday support restarting the network; unfortunately there isn't much I can do to help except testing.
