XenServer – Management NIC bonding problem

Posted on November 26th, 2009

Have noticed this rather annoying bug with XenServer 5.5

Scenario

If a pool of servers is created, and NIC 0+1 is bonded with the management interface running on this bonded network.

All configuration steps were done from XenCenter

Problem

A new XenServer is added to the pool, the NICs are un-bonded before adding it to the pool (but the same problem exists even if they are bonded)

The new XenServer is added to the pool and it picks up the pool network configuration however the Bond0+1network shows as unknown rather than connected.

Resolution

Remove the Bond0+1 network from the pool (which obviously affects all servers)

Create the bond 0+1 again

Now this bond shows as connected on all XenServers.

how annoying.

Resultant Set of Policy/gpresult: access denied error message

Posted on October 16th, 2008

When running a Resultant Set of Policy from the Group policy management Console (GPMC) the following error is displayed:

Also, the following ‘access denied’ error appears when running gpresult.exe from a command prompt on the server:

Running on other servers seems okay, but on these specific servers there is a problem.

Resolution

This can be resolved by doing the following:

cmd
c:
cd\windows\system32

regsvr32 /n /I userenv.dll

cd\windows\system32\wbem
mofcomp scersop.mof

gpupdate /force

Tested as working on Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition. (and it doesn’t even need a reboot)
