(kvm) no network after upgrade

[natxo]

hi,

this morning I upgraded the virutal environmente following the instructions on http://proxmox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=533. It all went fine and most vm's came up online all right. Except some (not all) the kvm vm's. This is beta software, so this is expected ;-)

this is the conf file of one of those vm's:

ostype: l26
vlan0: rtl8139=6A:0F:03:A5:E5:70
memory: 256
onboot: 1
ide2: none,media=cdrom
name: dhcp
ide0: vm-105-default.qcow2
bootdisk: ide0

this is a kvm with debian etch (stable). What is funny is that I have another kvm with debian testing (lenny) and it works fine.

Where can I look for the problem?

tia.

hi,

what is not working? only the network? so check if you go unique MAC addresses - if not correct it manually in the config file.

also see the log files: /var/log/syslog (this is also on the web interface).

mac addresses are unique:

hpxen:/etc/qemu-server# grep vlan *.conf
103.conf:vlan0: rtl8139=EA:FE:09A:AA:97
104.conf:vlan0: rtl8139=62:C8:82:F2:40:EE
105.conf:vlan0: rtl8139=6A:0F:03:A5:E5:70
106.conf:vlan0: rtl8139=66:11:90:7A:38:25
107.conf:vlan0: rtl8139=DE:61:EF:21:4E:CC
109.conf:vlan0: virtio=82:89:74:C6:6D:6C

the only 2 vm's that can network right now are 103 and 109 (103 is debian lenny and 109 is winxp)


and in syslog of the server all I can see is:
Jul 29 17:24:27 hpxen pvedaemon[7321]: VM 105 stopped

so I assume the MAC´s changed during update, therefore some guest has problems - eth0 is configured for the old MAC. check the guests OS.

you are right, and the solution for future reference is here: http://vmfaq.com/entry/24/

Just delete or rename the file /etc/udev/rules.d/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules en reboot, all wil work again.

tricky.

perfect, thanks for this link!

but we hope there is not need to change MAC´s again during Proxmox VE updates but for all migrations this is important.
