Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well.. I have some problems to configure bandwidth monitoring for domains in an xen vps...... Suppose we have three domains..... The ifconfig entry will something like this vif1.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3691 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:412527 errors:0 dropped:776 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:435348 (425.1 Kb) TX bytes:24588202 (23.4 Mb) vif2.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4894 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:412178 errors:0 dropped:667 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:477402 (466.2 Kb) TX bytes:25068366 (23.9 Mb) vif3.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:64606 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:376113 errors:0 dropped:610 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:18405141 (17.5 Mb) TX bytes:73257575 (69.8 Mb) Only the specific part taken.... When we stop and start all these domains it will be vif4.0, vif5.0, vif6.0 and if we restrat once again it would take the next three digits and will be going up. Only a system reboot would bring this to its first stage... So really bandwidth monitoring seems to be a horrible task... I use the contents of /proc/net/dev as mrtg collects data from there... So if i restart a domain i must make related changes in mrtg config files.... Any one any idea how to make this interface name permanent for a domain.... All suggestions are accepted.... Please bear the ignorance of a newbie :-( Thanks Sadique _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

All suggestions are accepted....With recent 2.0-testing you can put vifname in the config file: vif=[ ''mac=aa:00:00:4b:a0:c1, bridge=xen-br0, vifname=vif-example.0'' ] So then it would have a device always called vif-example.0. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
