Hi All,

We have a single CentOS 5.11 server running a xen hypervisor that went down hard after an extended power outage this weekend. I’m mostly familiar for KVM as that is the majority of what our guests run under and have tried getting up to speed on xen bridging to no avail.

The problem is that after the xen server spun back up, the previously defined xen bridges were lost. I’ve been going in circles and am seeking advise on to how to restore them. I found the bridge interfaces defined in /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge-pcl, this is what I am trying to restore. Logs/configs files are posted below.

There are two guests running, one uses ‘xen-dmz1’ and the other
‘xen-dmz2’ I created ‘xenbr3’ somehow with an interface named after one of the guests.

The server will be retired shortly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Scott
