Hi, I have a dedicated server at Hetzner, where I''m alloted some extra subnet for my VMs. To support that I have set the following in my xend-config.sxp. (network-script ''network-route netdev=eth0'') (vif-script vif-route) All VMs in the addnl subnet will then have pointopoint routes to the dom0 which forwards traffic out to the "real world". Now I tried to add a HVM domU for the first time. xm create will die as below: waxh0002:/etc/xen# xm create xen08 Using config file "./xen08". Error: Domain ''xen08'' does not exist. I checked a qemu logfile and found the following error: waxh0002:/var/log/xen# cat qemu-dm-xen08.log domid: 12 -c config qemu network with xen bridge for tap12.0 xenbr0 bridge xenbr0 does not exist! /etc/xen/scripts/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script Could not initialize device ''tap'' This woud indicate the qemu VM ends up using vif-bridge. I just can''t see WHY! A (working) PVM domU xen04:vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3E:02:00:04, ip=188.40.xxx.xxx'' ] A (not working) HVM domU xen08:vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3E:02:00:08, ip=188.40.xxx.xxx'' ] As soon as I disable the vif stanza the HVM domU can be created. I had never run into this so far as I normally have a real router somewhere and can just stick to bridges :) Also I just rarely run HVM domUs. Unfortunately noone bothers to provide current FreeBSD Xen images, even now that it''s becoming stable again, so I need to go via a HVM domU to build a rootfs at first. Any ideas? Flo -- the purpose of libvirt is to provide an abstraction layer hiding all xen features added since 2006 until they were finally understood and copied by the kvm devs. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
