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.
