Hi again answering my own post, I think I figured it out, as a missing dependency between . libvirt-daemon-driver-network that provides /usr/share/libvirt/networks/default.xml . and libvirt-daemon-config-network, shose post-install script actually uses this same file So this means that libvirt-daemon-config-network should depend on libvirt-daemon-driver-network so that the latter gets installed first and it seems like on our earlier setups this was working by accident I’ll need to test this more thoroughly though — Thierry On 11 Feb 2014, at 09:28, Thierry Parmentelat <thierry.parmentelat@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi > > This is in echo to a message originally sent on libvirt-users, but having not received any answer yet so we figured we would try this list instead > > So, we use libvirt on various flavours of fedora; with fedora18 we were using libvirt-1.0.4, that we rebuilt using a slightly modified version of mainstream specfile > Under fedora20 we’ve first tried using the libvirt version that comes with vanilla fedora - 1.1.3 - but are seeing glitches that apparently are fixed in 1.2.1, so we’re giving this a shot > > The problem we have is, right after installation of our libvirt rpm, the ‘default’ network is not known to the system: > [root@vnode07 ~]# virsh -c lxc:// net-dumpxml default > error: failed to get network 'default' > error: Network not found: no network with matching name ‘default' > > While the ‘source’ file for this default network did ship with the rpm > [root@vnode07 ~]# rpm -qf /usr/share/libvirt/networks/default.xml > libvirt-daemon-driver-network-1.2.1-0.x86_64 > > ------------ > What we used to have with 1.0.4 and 1.1.3 at that same point (right after yum install) is > [root@vnode05 ~]# virsh -c lxc:// net-dumpxml default > <network connections='1510’> > .. > </network> > > — > So, I’m confident we can tweak our specfile to get this to work by adding something like net-define / net-autostart / net-start somewhere near the post install script of the daemon package or something > > However we would appreciate some insight as to how this would happen in the first place; is this an intentional change on your end ? > or did we screw that up somehow ? if so, I could not find out precisely how this network definition is supposed to take place when the package gets installed, any hint / insight on that would be much appreciated > > Thanks in advance > > -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
