Hi! This is my first e-mail to the list. I''m newbie using Xen. I''m testing Xen 3.0 in Debian Sarge and Debian Etch, running two domU''s in both. But I''m curious with some differences in regard to bridge configuration. The Sarge Xen server was installed with backports repositories, excepted the kernel and the hypervisor (I''m using the kernel and hypervisor from Xensource tarball). My net configuration is the following: sirius:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces --------------> dom0 auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br-xen iface br-xen inet static address 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 bridge_ports eth0 bridge_maxwait 0 sirius:~# cat /etc/xen/hermes kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen" ramdisk="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-xen" memory=64 root="/dev/hda2 ro" disk=[''phy:/dev/vm/hermes.swap,hda1,w'',''phy:/dev/vm/hermes.raiz,hda2,w'', ''phy:/dev/vm/hermes.var,hda3,w''] vif=[''bridge=br-xen''] hermes:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces --------------> domU auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 In the Etch Xen server I have a full installation from Xensource tarball with install.sh script. If I use a similar net configuration, I get a backend error on executing xm create. Nevertheless, a comun configuration (without bridge specification) doesn''t show problems: xenserver1:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces --------------> dom0 auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.0.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 gateway 10.0.0.11 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 10.0.0.11 dns-search educ.ar xenhost1:~# cat /etc/xen/vmxen1 kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen" ramdisk="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-xen" memory=512 root="/dev/sda2 ro" disk=[''phy:/dev/vm/vmxen1.raiz,sda2,w'',''phy:/dev/vm/vmxen1.swap,sda1,w''] vif=[''bridge=xenbr0''] vmxen1:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces ------------------> domU auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.41 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.0.0. broadcast 10.0.0.255 gateway 10.0.0.11 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 10.0.0.11 dns-search educ.ar It is because of different manner to install? Thanks in advance.
