So, this morning the Windows server I am running as a domU restarted due to
a Windows Update.

On restart, the network cable reported as unplugged. But this is a physical
card, and the cable is not unplugged.

A restart of the dom0 is what is required to fix the domU's network
connection.

My dom0 dmesg is here : https://pastebin.com/n6R2Mnpi

My xl dmesg is here : https://pastebin.com/zTZbppA5

My domU config is here : https://pastebin.com/cJZHtrV7



Any ideas as to why this happens?

I first reported it 2 years ago starting on 4.6, and am apparently the only
one who has ever seen this.

Running XEN 4.10.3

Sometimes a reboot of the domU causes the network card that is attached to
report network cable unplugged.

Sometimes it happens on its own after the machine is up for multiple days.



I did not have this issue on 4.5.1, which I had running perfectly fine since
2015.. Now comes the fun part..

I looked up if anyone had reported this issue in the past, and I found
someone. https://lists.gt.net/xen/users/458441

Unfortunately it was me.. and I never got it resolved because I just went
back to XEN 4.5.1 for another 2 years.



I cannot see anyone else having a similar issue in my searches so far.

Next time it happens I'll get logs to supply the info that was requested
last time I reported it. I find it weird that I no one else has reported the
issue in the past 2 years though, seeing as it seemingly has not been
resolved.
