set-vdisk and set-vnet Operations Place Guest Domains in Delayed Reconfiguration Mode

Bug ID 6852685: Starting with the Logical Domains 1.2 release, delayed reconfiguration operations are only supported on the control domain. However, the Logical Domains Manager does not properly enforce this restriction for the set-vdisk and set-vnet operations. If you issue either of these operations on a guest domain, that domain will enter delayed reconfiguration mode.

Workaround: If a guest domain enters delayed configuration mode as the result of a set-vdisk or set-vnet operation, do the following:

1. Use the ldm cancel-operation reconf command to cancel the pending delayed reconfiguration.

2. Stop the guest domain.

3. Re-issue the ldm set-vdisk or ldm set-vnet command.

4. Start the guest domain.

If the domain has already been stopped or was rebooted while in delayed reconfiguration mode, the pending configuration will be committed. For information about any issues or restrictions regarding the use of delayed reconfiguration operations, see the Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.1 Release Notes.
