Hi. I run Xen PV Drivers 0.9.11-pre17 on Windows 2003 server 64bit with latest security updates. I follow manuals: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv/Installing I put vif = [''''] to config instead of common VIF description. How could I specify MAC address for Xen NIC ? -- Bogdan B. Rudas <brudas@iponweb.net> _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
What about something like this: vif=[ ''mac=00:16:3e:0b:e9:51,bridge=eth0'' ] 2008. 09. 24, szerda keltezéssel 18.03-kor Bogdan B.

Presumably that means no network interfaces.I thought the presence of one object in the list meant there *was* a NIC just with no configuration. An empty list would mean no VIFs, right?

Re: [Xen-users] MAC Address for GPL PV network card
Nemeth, Have you tested GPL PV with Xen-3.3 and your Windows 2k3 in a HVM stubdomain? What is the best to virtualize Windows in Xen-3.3, normal HVM with GPL PV drivers or Xen-3.3 HVM Stubdom without GPL PL?

I tested several versions gplvp today on xen 3.2.1 and xen 3.3.0, with w2k3 and windows xp, but I experienced BSODs constantly in everi scenario. I don''t want to use it anymore, I only miss the shutdown feature. I haven''t ever tried stubdom.

Re: [Xen-users] MAC Address for GPL PV network card
You must try hvm-stubdom for your virtualized Windows! It's much more fast! ;-) Regards, Thiago 2008/9/26 Nemeth, Tamas <nice@titanic.nyme.hu>> I tested several versions gplvp today on xen 3.2.1 and xen 3.3.0, with > w2k3 and windows xp, but I experienced BSODs constantly in everi > scenario.
