I am looking to use mrtg to map bandwidth usage on my DomU''s. But by default the vif26.0, vif28.0 is created, can I assign the same vif everytime a domu is started?

In your config (vif=) just add vifname=blah>From a live config file:vif = [''bridge=br0, mac=00:00:6d:8c:2b:41, vifname=6-a-1.0''] The domname is 6-a-1, so I know easily (in cacti) that 6-a-1.0 is eth0 in guest 6-a-1.

How can I create my config files? Or where are they stored, In /var/lib/xend/domains/XXXXXX/ I have .sxp files that look like the config files. This is what I have in the file (device (vif (bridge eth0) (mac 00:16:3e:02:da:66) (script vif-bridge) (uuid f4b36b7e-3a18-75e7-482e-4e5cfe752ade) (backend 0) ) ) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Tim Post [mailto:echo@echoreply.us] Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 1:22 PM To: Ronnie Tartar Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Virtual Inteface Assigment On Sun, 2008-06-01 at 12:59 -0400, Ronnie Tartar wrote:> I am looking to use mrtg to map bandwidth usage on my DomU''s. > > But by default the vif26.0, vif28.0 is created, can I assign the same vif > everytime a domu is started?I use cacti for this but its pretty much the same.

I tried adding : (device (vif (bridge eth0) (vifname purple) (mac 00:16:3e:02:da:66) (script vif-bridge) (uuid f4b36b7e-3a18-75e7-482e-4e5cfe752ade) (backend 0) ) ) But after shutting down and restarting the domu, it went back to previous without the line?

I was able to set the xenstore value for vifname in the database using the following command: xenstore-write /vm/1463e93a-4c30-9cea-94ea-8fde0ead2ef7/device/vif/0/vifname purple But when I get my vif, it still goes to vif33.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:115 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:97 errors:0 dropped:129 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 RX bytes:9124 (8.9 KiB) TX bytes:8839 (8.6 KiB) I''m not sure -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Tim Post Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 1:22 PM To: Ronnie Tartar Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Virtual Inteface Assigment On Sun, 2008-06-01 at 12:59 -0400, Ronnie Tartar wrote:> I am looking to use mrtg to map bandwidth usage on my DomU''s. > > But by default the vif26.0, vif28.0 is created, can I assign the same vif > everytime a domu is started?I use cacti for this but its pretty much the same.

Ok, I guess the issue is that using virt-manager to create the domu''s does not create the configuration files necessary, I created a DomU and was able to name it, it shows up, but now when I query with cacti, it shows multiple test4 (name of vif), everytime it is restarted, same thing. More Can I force it to give it a vmid? -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Ronnie Tartar Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 7:15 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Virtual Inteface Assigment I was able to set the xenstore value for vifname in the database using the following command: xenstore-write /vm/1463e93a-4c30-9cea-94ea-8fde0ead2ef7/device/vif/0/vifname purple But when I get my vif, it still goes to vif33.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:115 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:97 errors:0 dropped:129 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 RX bytes:9124 (8.9 KiB) TX bytes:8839 (8.6 KiB) I''m not sure -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Tim Post Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2008 1:22 PM To: Ronnie Tartar Cc: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Virtual Inteface Assigment On Sun, 2008-06-01 at 12:59 -0400, Ronnie Tartar wrote:> I am looking to use mrtg to map bandwidth usage on my DomU''s. > > But by default the vif26.0, vif28.0 is created, can I assign the same vif > everytime a domu is started?I use cacti for this but its pretty much the same.
