Linux failover on HP Integrity

[dev44]

Hi,

The problem we are having is that when we stop the linux vm on one host and try and bring it up on another host, it seems to lose all the eth0 info. "hpvmstatus" shows both hosts have the same scsi address, but when I bring it up on the other host it says "duplicate IP address found" (which is not true as far as someone else using that IP) and then resets the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script to some default settings. I have a backup of the ifcfg-eth0 script and just copy that over and then service network start and everything is fine. So I am just wondering why it thinks there is a duplicate IP address and changes the ifcfg-eth0 script.

Thanks
