From 42b1abcb454bb4aff50131b31f05e4432c664bf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Pfaff Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 09:45:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "xenserver: Make primary management interface on VLAN possible." This reverts commit d71cb7eb3e52fbf521abe6d0cb19cc8b7aea80dc. The strategy used in that commit for making the primary management interface on a VLAN possible did not work reliably. Sometimes it would work for a time, but eventually xapi would start listening only on the IP address attached to the fake VLAN bridge. Since this is not a real IP address that can be used to talk to the outside world (and in any case it isn't the IP address requested by the administrator) xapi would become unreachable at this point. --- ...pt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure | 50 ------------------- 1 file changed, 50 deletions(-) diff --git a/xenserver/opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure b/xenserver/opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure index cf8a8083..46ff2b88 100755 --- a/xenserver/opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure +++ b/xenserver/opt_xensource_libexec_interface-reconfigure @@ -429,36 +429,6 @@ For a VLAN PIF, the ipdev name is the interface name. else: return interface_name(pif) -def fakevlanbridge_name(pif): - """Return the name of the network device that xapi *thinks* carries the -IP configuration associatied with pif, if this is different from the actual -network device for pif (as returned by ipdev_name). -Otherwise, returns None. - -This is important because xapi will refuse to put the primary management -interface on a network device that does not have an IP address.
