You receive the following error (in the xen-xend.logfile ):
Bridge xenbr1 does not exist!
This happens when the guest's bridge is incorrectly configured and this forces the Xen hotplug
scripts to timeout. If you move configuration files between hosts, you must ensure that you update the
guest configuration files to reflect network topology and configuration modifications. When you
attempt to start a guest that has an incorrect or non-existent Xen bridge configuration, you will
receive the following errors:
# xm create mySQL01
Using config file " mySQL01"

In addition, the xend.log displays the following errors:

To resolve this problem, open the guest's configuration file found in the /etc/xen directory. For
example, editing the guest mySQL01
# vim /etc/xen/mySQL01
Locate the vif entry. Assuming you are using xenbr0 as the default bridge, the proper entry should
resemble the following:
# vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:49:1d:11, bridge=xenbr0',]
You receive these python deprecation errors:
