Once again, my blog becomes my own personal scratch pad for things I want to remember. In this case, what to do with Xen domUs that install udev:
- login to the VM using “xm console ID”
- edit /etc/udev/persistent-net-generator.rules
- insert the following at the top, just below the first comment block:# No persistent interface names for Xen VMs.
KERNEL==”eth*”, GOTO=”persistent_net_generator_end”- remove the existing persistence “database”:
rm /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
You’re not expected to understand or care.
