Fix sent for review upstream: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-October/msg01492.html I changed the summary to reflect the issue: When creating transient networks in libvirt the code doesn't check if the definition contains multiple DHCP sections that are not supported by design and also fails to create the dnsmasq host file that stores configuration of persistently configured guest leases. This bug was fixed upstream by

net: Re-use checks when creating transient networks
When a transient network was created some of the checks weren't run on
the definition allowing to start invalid networks.
This patch splits out code to the network validation function and
re-uses that code when creating transient networks.
that is a part of a series fixing various issues with transient networks.

Description of problem: The network xml with mutiple dhcp sections can be created successfully although the guest can't get the address from the different sections Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.32-330.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-323.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2-5.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1# cat multi-dhcp.xml <network> <name>multi-dhcp</name> <forward mode='nat'/> <bridge name='virbr10' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip address='192.168.201.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.201.2' end='192.168.201.2' /> </dhcp> </ip> <ip address='192.168.202.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.202.2' end='192.168.202.2' /> </dhcp> </ip> <ip family='ipv6' address='2003b8:ac10:fe01::1' prefix='64'> </ip> </network> 2 # virsh net-create multi-dhcp.xml Network multi-dhcp created from multi-dhcp.xml # virsh net-list Name State Autostart Persistent -------------------------------------------------- default active yes yes multi-dhcp active no no 3 prepare two guests,and the guest should have the network interface like this <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:e5:4e3'/> <source network='multi-dhcp'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> 4 start the guests,then login the guests ,and found that the guest can only got the address from the first section, can't got ip address from another one,so one of the guests can't get the ip address 5 The libvirtd didn't support define the multiple dhcp sections ,refer to bug 735950 # virsh net-define muti-dhcp.xml error: Failed to define network from muti-dhcp.xml error: unsupported configuration: Multiple dhcp sections found. dhcp is supported only for a single IPv4 address on each network Actual results: we can create the network successfully,but it can't allocat mutiple dhcp sections' address Expected results: From step 5 ,wo knew that the libvirtd didn't support multiple dhcp sections with "virsh net-define" command ,so I think we shouldn't create the netork with the "virsh net-create"command too. And it should report an error as the "virsh net-define" command Additional info the log in host Oct 25 13:34:00 intel-8400-8-1 dnsmasq-dhcp[27175]: DHCPDISCOVER(virbr11) 192.168.122.252 52:54:00:56:22:67 no address available Oct 25 13:34:04 intel-8400-8-1 dnsmasq-dhcp[27175]: DHCPDISCOVER(virbr11) 192.168.122.252 52:54:00:56:22:67 no address available Oct 25 13:34:12 intel-8400-8-1 dnsmasq-dhcp[27175]: DHCPDISCOVER(virbr11) 192.168.122.252 52:54:00:56:22:67 no address available Oct 25 13:34:21 intel-8400-8-1 dnsmasq-dhcp[27175]: DHCPDISCOVER(virbr11) 192.168.122.252 52:54:00:56:22:67 no address available
