For what it's worth, we do the same thing. Set network-script to /bin/true in xend-config.sxp and configure our own bridges via regular ifcfg scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. Much more stable and predictable this way. -- Linux-cluster mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
