Hi, i am asking myself if there is anybody out there who has a running network backend domU to which other domU''s are connected. XEN Version: 3.0.2 Kernel Version: 2.6.16.16 The firewall domU is configured as privileged guest with all backend and frontend drivers compiled into the kernel. ######## [Firewall domU] name = "firewall" hostname = "firewall" kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-domU-firewall" memory = 320 cpus = "0-1" pci = [ ''01:0a.0'', ''02:09.0'' ] netif = 1 disk = [''file:/mnt/xenimages/gentoo_firewall.xen,sda1,w'', ''file:/mnt/xenimages/gentoo_firewall_swap.xen,sda2,w''] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "gentoo=nodevfs" ######### The domU is configured as non privileged guest with all frontend drivers. ######### [domU] name = "test" hostname = "test" kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-domU" memory = 320 cpus = "0-1" vif = [ ''backend=firewall'' ] disk = [''file:/mnt/xenimages/gentoo_test.xen,sda1,w'', ''file:/mnt/xenimages/gentoo_test_swap.xen,sda2,w''] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "gentoo=nodevfs" ######### As result i get this: # Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. Now there are several questions: 1.) Does this really work with ''netif'' or is this just a placebo? 2.) If it should work, where is the problem with the hotplug scripts? In the dom0? In the firewall domU? 3.) What else do i need on the firewall domU?
