The xend driver will generate a virDomainNetDef ifname if one is not specified in xend sexpr, even if domain is inactive. The result is network interface XML containing 'vif-1.Y' on dev attribute of target element, e.g. <interface type='bridge'> <target dev='vif-1.0'/> ... This patch changes the behavior to only generate the ifname if not specified in xend sexpr *and* domain is not inactive (id != -1). --- src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c | 13 +++++++++---- 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c b/src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c index d2ec370..66df786 100644 --- a/src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c +++ b/src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c @@ -547,12 +547,17 @@ xenParseSxprNets(virDomainDefPtr def, } tmp = sexpr_node(node, "device/vif/vifname"); - if (!tmp) { + /* If vifname is specified in xend config, include it in net + * definition regardless of domain state.
