[ovs-dev] Problem with PXE boot virtuals within XenServer 5.5

[Jeroen]

Hi,

As written in the subject, we have problems using PXE boot in XenServer 
5.5 with vSwitch 1.0.0 enabled. We use this for automated rollout of 
windows servers.
Starting a guest with PXE enabled a bootp request should follow, with 
vSwitch enabled we don't see such requests to the pxe server. When 
removing the vSwitch rpm automated rollout is fine.

Where using:
XenServer 5.5 sp2
vSwitch 1.0.0

To boot with pxe:
xe vm-param-set \
   uuid=${VMUUID} \
   VCPUs-at-startup=%{CPU} \
   VCPUs-max=%{CPU} \
   memory-static-max=$MEM \
   memory-dynamic-max=$MEM \
   affinity=${HOSTUUID} \
   HVM-boot-params:order=n

Hope that someone can help us with this situation?
Kind regards,
Jeroen Vermeulen
