Xen users - Sep 2011 - correct steps to add XEN bridge to Debian squeeze?

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the correct steps are to add a XEN bridge, let''s
say xenbr0 to Debian Squeeze?



I have added the following to /etc/network/interfaces


# XEN Bridge
auto xenbr0
        iface xenbr0 inet manual
        bridge ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

And then rebooted the server but brctl show still shows eth0 as bridge:


newusaxen:~# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
eth0            8000.003048c461be       no              peth0
                                                        vif2.0



newusaxen:~# ifup xenbr0
ifup: interface xenbr0 already configured



newusaxen:~# ifconfig |grep xenbr0
newusaxen:~#





What else should I be doing to get it up and running?

Do you have libvirt-bin installed?
Is there the xenbr0 configured (maybe in
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml)?
If yes, the bridge will be created on system startup from libvirt???

We decided not to use xen for bridging, but put all out bridges in 

/etc/network/interfaces


Something like this

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# network bonding
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
        slaves eth1 eth2 eth3
        bond_mode 802.3ad
        bond_miimon 100
        bond_downdelay 200
        bond_updelay 200

# vlans 
auto vlan201
iface vlan201 inet manual
        vlan-raw-device bond0

auto vlan202
iface vlan202 inet manual
        vlan-raw-device bond0

# bridges sit on the vlans
auto br201
iface br201 inet static
        bridge_ports vlan201
        bridge_fd    2
	address 10.10.254.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0

auto br202
iface br202 inet manual
        bridge_ports vlan202
        bridge_fd    2


This is on a machine with four physical interfaces, three of which are
bonded together, and you can add bridges and vlans on the fly as and
when required.


And in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp leave all the entries like

# (network script network-bridge)

commented out.

Hi Christian,

libvirt-bin wasn''t installed, and I didn''t know I should have
installed it.

so I just installed it but how do I get xenbr0 up?


Running /etc/init.d/xend restart or "/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge
start" didn''t help at all.

If you have defined bridges in /etc/libvirt/qemu and a link from
/etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart to the definition exists, than the bridges will be
set up with /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin.
But I would not suggest to create your bridges with libvirt.

You do not need to install libvirt at all. XEN runs fine without it. Only if you
would like to manage your VMs with virt-manager, than you need to install it.
If libvirt-bin was not installed, than I don''t know, what has
configured the xenbr0 bridge.
Can you grep recursively through /etc to find the definition of xenbr0?
The problem is, that your system seems to define xenbr0 with peth0 as network
device. peth0 is the renamed eth0 that you also try to use in the bridge
definition in /etc/network/interfaces. That''s why after a restart of
the networking your server looses the connection.

Christian I appreciate your attempt to help me, but your making me run
in circles and confusing me a LOT.


So if anyone else can please point me in the right direction to get a
"xenbr0" bridge setup in Debian Squeeze I would appreciate it.

Surely I can''t be the only one using this combination?

You''re not the only one using this setup, and it''s not hard -
but
with all respect, you seem to be making life hard for yourself.

I didn''t read any of the previous emails as telling you to install 
lib-virt, which you don''t need. You were asked *if* you had it 
installed since this is a tool that may be doing things. I suppose I 
can see how that could be interpreted as a suggestion to install it.

The ''best'' way to do it in Debian is via the
/etc/network/interfaces
file as you''ve already done. However, it looks like you ALSO have a 
DIFFERENT tool doing something. My first guess would be that in 
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp you haven''t commented out every instance of 
"(network-script <something>)" - if you have left one of these
active
then Xend will mess with your network as it starts.

So check /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp for any instances of 
"network-script" and make sure they are all commented out.
Also, remove libvirt unless you are doing something that needs it.

My first answer was correct and Dominic Mason suggested exactly the same. Your
problem is, that somewhere else in your system xenbr0 will be created. As long
as you don''t know where, you will not get it up and running. And now I
shut up ;-).

Hi Rudi,

I think the easiest way to set up a bridge configuration on only one
interface (eth0), is enabling the "(network-script network-bridge)" in
"xend-config.sxp"... this makes a bridge on eth0 directly...

After that, in your cfg file you should add a vif line like this: "vif
= [ ''bridge=eth0, type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:77'' ]".

Regards,

Diego

Hi Diego,

I already have (had?) it like that but the HVM guests doesn''t seem to
have any network communications by using eth0 as a bridge

take a look here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HostConfiguration/Networking

You need to make sure networking in xend is disabled.

Hope that helps.

Many, myself included, disagree - at least once you get past the most 
simple single interface setup. The functioning of the Xen scripts is 
obscure, and very difficult to customise. Certainly in Debian, it''s 
easier to do all the network config with the host OS and leave Xen 
out of it.

As already shown, even fairly complex setups (bonded NICs, multiple 
VLANs, multiple bridges) can be done easily with the host OS script. 
These are impossible with the Xen scripts without doing all the work 
yourself.

I agree, but Rudi need only one bridge with a simple configuration, I
give he the "easiest way" not the "best way"!!!

Xen.org agrees. That is why we''ve deprecated xend and made it explicit
that networking should be configured with the distribution (as you
say):

Hi Rudi,

     i usually do this in my /etc/network/interfaces:

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet manual
             pre-up ifconfig eth0 up
             post-down ifconfig eth0 down

    auto br0
    iface br0 inet static
             address 192.168.x.x
             netmask 255.x.x.0
             bridge_ports eth0
             bridge_maxwait 0


     Hope that i could help.

Regards,
Tony M.

Thanx for all the help guys, but I think this Debian installation is
corrupt and I need to go back to CentOS + XEN 3 instead.


After a few reboots, trying to get the bridge working, I can''t even
see the VM''s running.

xm list simply "hangs"

And I can''t unindstall libvirt-bin (which I probably installed by
mistake) since apt-get and aptitude both gives me sementation faults:


newusaxen:/var/cache/apt# apt-get remove libvirt-bin
Segmentation faultsts... 0%
newusaxen:/var/cache/apt# aptitude remove libvirt-bin
[  0%] Reading package listsSegmentation fault
newusaxen:/var/cache/apt#
