Known Affected Versions:
11.2.1, 11.3.0, 11.4.1
Fixed In:
11.5.0, 11.4.1 HF9
Opened: Jul 25, 2013
Severity: 3-Major
If a guest's config load fails and is then subsequently corrected, the management IP passed in from the hypervisor is not applied until it is changed to a different value.
The guest is not reachable on its management IP address.
The guest has had a config load failure that has been fixed, and is not configured to override the management IP given by the hypervisor.
1. Change the guest's management IP on the hypervisor side (and then change it back): tmsh modify vcmp guest <guest-name> management-ip <new-address> 2. Change the guests's management IP in the guest (TODO: verify if this also works), to override the one passed in by the hypervisor.
mcpd ignores the management IP passed in from the hypervisor in cases where it has not changed since the last time the management IP was set. The fix is to reset the change detection state in the case of a transaction rollback that occurs after processing the management IP given by the hypervisor.
