Bug Description
I am installing XCP on a fresh installation of Ubuntu Server (64-bit) 12.04 with the latest updates applied with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.
Following this guide... https:/
It instructs:
Installing and configuring XAPI (XenAPI)
Install XCP-XAPI
sudo apt-get install xcp-xapi
-> Choose "bridge" when prompted for network backend
If I pick Open vSwitch, it fails to properly configure it and then it is stuck in a loop reporting this error:
May 03 19:55:27|
May 03 19:55:27|
On my second attempt (I started over from scratch), I realized I didn't read the line following the command for choosing "bridge." I selected bridge, but the package still installed Open vSwitch instead.
I found a post from a Debian package maintainer claiming he fixed this in Debian Wheezy/SID.
http://
"Note that I closed an issue in Wheezy/SID about openvswitch being always selected even if you choose bridging (it was missing a $1 = configure test). So you might want to use the latest version available in Debian."
Has that fix not made it into Ubuntu 12.04? Will it? I'm not sure how to get around this error.
Added xcp-xapi Ubuntu package target.
