NetScaler instance is not detecting the interfaces in Mirantis Openstack 6.0

[Venkateswara Rao Dokku]

We are trying to bring up Netscaler instance (FreeBSD based) on top of Mirantis Openstack fuel 6.0. We are booting it as ide disk & also we have assigned an interface.

The NetScaler booted up fine, but it couldn’t able to see the network interface that was assigned, even though we could see the interface details in XML file.
The following can be seen in the XML of the instance

<interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:6a:98:c6'/>
      <source bridge='qbr247195b8-bf'/>
      <target dev='tap247195b8-bf'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver name='qemu'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>

I could see the tap interface ('tap247195b8-bf') getting create in the host, but not getting detected in the NetScaler.

We could see the interfaces attached in case of Ubuntu also. Only FreeBSD based VM’s we are facing this issue.

Is there a known issue with the FreeBSD based VM’s?

Environment:
Mos: 6.0
Compute Node: Ubuntu Precise 12.04
Qemu : 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.9

We had issues with Netscaler images before:

Could you recheck logs to see if you face the same problem?

After upgrading the sea-bios package, we hit this issue.

Interesting. Can you share Netscaler image?

I'm confused, because image is the same as in the bug I mentioned. Are you sure you did recompile seabios after updating it with gcc-4.5?

[Venkateswara Rao Dokku (dvrao-584)]

I gave the link of the image as it was already on the sharefile.

Yes, I did updated sea-bios & after that only I am seeing this issuw.

So you haven't seen this bug before the update? Can you try downgrading a package and use it?
