If multiple IP addresses are assigned to a network interface (Using
interface aliases - for example 'ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 ; ifconfig eth0:1
10.0.0.2'), then the kvm init script causes the interface to become
unresponsive when it creates a bridge using the interface.
I haven't yet had a need to use bridging for my VMs, so I haven't yet tried
to figure out how to properly configure a bridge when multiple IPs are in
use on the host system (I assume the multiple IPs simply need to be
configured using aliases of the bridge itself - for example 'ifconfig sw0
10.0.0.1 ; ifconfig sw0:1 10.0.0.2' - but I haven't actually tried it).
Therefore, I am not sure at the moment how the kvm init script needs to be
updated to fix this problem.
Regardless, I do have a number of machines which are using multiple IPs on
the host system, and I recently installed kvm on them, then discovered that
after the next reboot of each machine, the network interface is
unresponsive until I disable the kvm init script and reboot again.
So, ideally the kvm init script should be updated to properly handle
aliased interfaces, but at the very least, it needs to be updated to detect
aliased interfaces and refuse to create a bridge for them, since that seems
to completely break the underlying interface.
