Will investigate to manage bonding through Open vSwitch so. Another topic to investigate ;-)

We currently have init scripts (and > other forms of integration) for XenServer but not for other forms of Xen. I'll have a look on init scripts for XenServer. I don't like modifying init script which are managed from another package. This is never a great solution because it may break future upgrades. But definitely, that could be a damn great feature to be able to manage IP settings from Open vSwitch DB instead of hacking scripts ;-) Thanks anyway for your answer, JB _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_openvswitch.org
