7.47 Changing Domain Type from Xen HVM to Xen HVM PV Drivers Causes Informational Messages in AdminServer.log

Changing the domain type of a virtual machine from Xen HVM to Xen HVM PV Drivers results in the following informational messages of type vm.domain.mismatch and vm.os.mismatch being written to AdminServer.log.

This issue occurs because Oracle VM Server does not distinguish between the Xen HVM and Xen HVM PV Drivers domain types. When the domain type of the virtual machine changes to Xen HVM PV Drivers, Oracle VM Server reports the domain type of the virtual machine as Xen HVM to Oracle VM Manager. As a result, Oracle VM Manager falsely detects an error and logs the informational messages.

Workaround: You can ignore the informational messages and change the domain type of the virtual machine to Xen HVM PV Drivers. The virtual machine successfully loads the PV drivers despite these messages.
