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.

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.
Because you are not allowed to do so once the domU has announced the IP it intends to use. Can we change it from dom0 Cristian?
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.
Put live migration support is still immature in Xen i guess.Are you working on improving it? :) Thanks ~psr
Thank you for your help. Cheers, Cristian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
