We have had a peculiar problem, where customer would see that the hypervm shows that there are two ips configured on the system, but lxadmin will only notice one or none.
The problem is actually with hyperVM, but it is not a bug. What happens is this. When hyperVM adds an ip, it will check whether it has already been assigned by pinging it, and will not allow you to add an ip if the ip is already assigned to some other hosts. Now in this case what has happened is that, when you added the ipaddress, the ip was free, but after the addition, the ip was allocated to some other host. Now when you reboot the vps, openvz will refuse to use the ip because it is being used by someone else.
Please note that this is not a bug.
If you are seeing this problem, just ping the ip that's not appearing in Lxadmin, and you will see that it will respond.
The solution is to contact your DC and ask them to reassign this ip address.
Thanks.
