Hi I''ve got fedora core 4 running in a domain. I configured the IP, but it didn''t seem to work. Basically the fc4 is confiured to use dhcp, but I wrote the ip in teh rawhide config file. Instead of using teh ip from the config file it picked up a dhcp assigned ip. Am I missing something fundamental? Can someone please advise me My config file is like this: (/etc/xen/rawhide) kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4xenU" memory = 100 name = "rhel-4-ws" nics = 1 disk = [''phy:hda7,hda7,w''] root = "/dev/hda7 ro" #dhcp = "dhcp" vip = "10.222.4.231" Many Thanks Shaz No probs. It won''t detect the underlying network card because dom0 is controlling it. Configure an IP address in the domain config file and it should just work - it''ll use a Xen virtual network interface instead.

You do need to provide a MAC address that the virtual interface on domU can use, and the associated bridge interface on dom0). e.g.: vif= [ ''mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11, bridge=xen-br0'' ] The easiest way to configure the IP address of the domU interface is by editing the normal interface configuration file (such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, if the device name you want to use is eth0). Make sure you have mounted and are editing the domU filesystem :). You can, of course, always manually bring up the interface once the domain is created. thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you use bridging (is there a "xen-br0" device in dom0?), you do not need to configure the vif* devices, omit options like ip/dhcp/netmask.> You do need to provide a MAC address that the virtual interface > on domU can use, and the associated bridge interface on dom0). > e.g.: > > vif= [ ''mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11, bridge=xen-br0'' ] > > The easiest way to configure the IP address of the domU > interface is by editing the normal interface configuration file > (such as /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, if the > device name you want to use is eth0).Some distro initscripts allow network config via kernel command line such that you could do that with the "extra=" option, but RH/FC/CentOS/RawHide do not, so the guest image has to be configured properly (as Nivedita descibes).> Make sure you have mounted and are editing the domU > filesystem :).... and umount it before "xm create" ;)> You can, of course, always manually bring up the > interface once the domain is created./nils. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
