--- Begin Message ---Package: libnetcf1 Version: 1:0.2.6-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Using libvirt and interfaces that are DOWN results in connection errors in virt-manager. I was able to break it down to failures in XML parsing. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? # ip link | grep DOWN 7: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default 30: vlan20@bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default We have a vlan interface that is DOWN # virsh iface-list --all Name State MAC Address --------------------------------------------------- bond0 active dmz0 active eth0 active internal0 active lo active printers0 active vlan15 active vlan20 inactive voip0 active vlan20 is inactive trying to dumpxml iface vlan20 result in error. # virsh iface-dumpxml vlan20 error: XML error: vlan interface misses the tag attribute if vlan link is set up, problem is gone # ip link set dev vlan20 up # virsh iface-dumpxml vlan20 <interface type='vlan' name='vlan20'> <protocol family='ipv6'> <ip address='fe80::9eb6:54ff:fe8c:dfcd' prefix='64'/> </protocol> <link speed='3000' state='up'/> <vlan tag='20'> <interface name='bond0'/> </vlan> </interface> Because connections with virt-manager to libvirtd instances heavily use dumpxml the connection fails. I suspect this is related to libnetcf1 because of earlier bug reports in fedora/redhat - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt-maint/2012-September/006441.html - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736920 I tested libnetcf1 0.2.1-4.1 from jessie.
