Hello all,
I''m using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (with RH Virtualization) and a
Dell
Poweredge 2950 with 10 NICs. My virtual operating systems are all
RHEL4, and I''ve installed 4 instances. I''m trying to set up
the virtual
operating systems so that the physical NICs are allocated to certain
operating systems. Using the following tutorial:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/470
I created a my-network-script that accounts for seven of the NICS, and
changed the access permissions accordingly:
#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname "$0")
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0
bridge=xenbr0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1
bridge=xenbr1
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=2 netdev=eth2
bridge=xenbr2
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=3 netdev=eth3
bridge=xenbr3
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=4 netdev=eth4
bridge=xenbr4
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=5 netdev=eth5
bridge=xenbr5
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=6 netdev=eth6
bridge=xenbr6
I also changed the configurations of the virtual RHEL4s (didn''t feel
like typing out the MACS, as my linux box doesn''t have an internet
connection)
Slave1:
vif=[ ''type=ioemu, mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr1'']
Slave2:
vif=[ ''type=ioemu, mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr2'',
''type=ioemu,
mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr3'' ]
Slave3:
vif=[ ''type=ioemu, mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr4'',
''type=ioemu,
mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr5'' ]
Slave4:
vif=[ ''type=ioemu, mac= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, bridge=xenbr6 ]
I statically set the IP address from within the virtual OS.
I also have a laptop running RHEL4 and switch in this configuration, in
order to test which physical NIC in the server has been allocated to the
virtual OS through simple pinging between the laptop and the virtual OS.
However, this setup causes a couple of problems:
1) When I start up the slave2, I found the NIC in the server which
corresponded with one of the ip addresses, but unexpectedly, the other
ip address could be pinged from the same NIC. Just to see if traffic was
''bleeding,'' I checked all of the other NICs to see if I could
ping the
second IP address from them, but to no avail. It seems that both ip
addresses reference the same NIC.
2) When I try to start up slave3 or slave4 with the edited OS
configuration files, both of them stay paused for some time, until
crashing with the following message: ''Error: destroyDevice() takes
exactly 3 arguments (2 given)''
I''ve tried to look into a few sources that might address my issues, but
to no avail. Can anyone tell me what might be going on?
