Hello, I am using XCP 1.0 and am accessing it with XenCenter. I have three NIC''s and I have bonded two of them through the XenCenter frontend. I then create a VLAN using XenCenter and attach it to the bond0. I create a VM and create its NIC to use VLAN 10, which it does and when the VM boots the NIC shows Active inside of XenCenter. When I look at the XCP host it shows VLAN 10 as an interface yet it says disconnected. When I look at brctl show, I see a bridge for the management NIC but not one for my bonded interfaces. How do I create a bridge for my vlan? In Xen I did this all by hand by creating the bonds and bonded interfaces in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, but I want everything to show up in XenCenter. Can someone tell me what I am missing? Thanks for any help, Jon _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hello, with xencenter and XCP you are configuring OpenVswitch, it is slightly different approach than conventional linux bridging. Also the XenCenter use xapi, CLI equivalent should be xe pif-list xe vif-list . brctl works only because there is loaded openvswitch linux bridge compatibility kernel module. r.

I thought I had to enable OpenVswitch using the xe-switch-network-backend openvswitch command. I also thought that if I used the previous command that my changes made would not be seen in XenCenter because it doesn''t use the XAPI, am I confused? Thanks again for the help, Jon _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I thought I had to enable OpenVswitch using the xe-switch-network-backend openvswitch command.I think that''s right. XCP 1.0 and XenServer 5.6 FP1 had Open vSwitch support, but I believe it was turned off by default.> I also thought that if I used the previous command that my changes made would not be seen in XenCenter because it doesn''t use the XAPI, am I confused? >Right, doing it manually it won''t be in xapi. You can instead use the xe commands or XenCenter Does this help: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX124421 Thanks, Todd> > Thanks again for the help, > > Jon > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >-- Todd Deshane http://www.linkedin.com/in/deshantm http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html http://runningxen.com/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
