Subject: paravirtualized windows net driver stop after some days on XP guest
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:51:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48B3C3FF.5020602@univ-nantes.fr> (raw)

Hello. I'm using kvm whit great succes for various OS. Very good job.

In June I started using paravirtualized drivers.

Since that we encountered sporadic loss of connectivity on some Xp
guests after some days of uptime.
This was with KVM 70. I upgraded to KVM 73 4 days ago, and this morning
1 off my Xp guests had no connectivity.

Putting the interface off then on via panel control  revives network
instantly.  Seems like a bug on the windows driver side .
This is occurring on 2 Xp guests, they have moderate to low network load.

They have 1 CPU , the hal is the non acpi one (because they were
installed in KVM-23 timeframe)

I also have 2003 guests, and so far I haven't encountered the problem.

Also have linux guests, with net AND disk virtio , AND high load without
problem.
Best Regards,
