Hi,
The below work didn't quite go to plan.
It seems it is not possible to restore a Xen domain that was
suspended under bridged mode networking if you change to routed
mode. I don't know why, but after 25 minutes or so trying to work
out why I decided to give up and just boot everyone normally. This
means that the 12 customer domains on this machine suffered a hard
power off / boot.
As far as I am aware, everyone is back up as of about 22:55 GMT.
Those who block ICMP ping (WHY!?) I'm not sure of as I can't check.
Please contact support@??? ASAP if you are seeing problems.
Feel free to text the number on the website if you need to.
Cheers,
Andy
