Hi Tavi,
> I think you could generate hotplug events (KOBJECT_OFFLINE /
KOBJECT_ONLINE maybe?) and configure your hotplug/udev scripts to take
care of ifup/ifdown operations.
That seems like a very good solution, I will look into it, thank you.
> I am curious why you need that though...
Xen allows adding network interfaces dynamically to guest domains by
running 'xm network-attach' from the privileged domain. However, I can
only get it to set the MAC address. I cannot set IP level information or
set the new interface to use dhcp.
This is also useful for a VM that is live migrating across different
subnets and needs to be signalled in order to acquire a new network
address post migration.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Cristian
