Out of the box F12 64bit fairly slim install with 497 packages, NetworkManager is not running. It's been chkconfig'd off in the kickstart %post.
There is an eth0 and an eth1 interface. Eth1 is inactive and eth0 is configured by anaconda to use dhcp. Netcf 0.1.4 fails run: [r...@localhost bin]# ncftool Failed to initialize netcf error: unspecified error error: errors in loading some config files Virsh refuses to use netcf-libs as well: [r...@localhost bin]# virsh iface-define /tmp/br0.xml error: Failed to define interface from /tmp/br0.xml error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virInterfaceDefineXML However, if I manually create a bridge like this: [r...@localhost network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp [r...@localhost network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR= ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 [r...@localhost network-scripts]# service network restart Then netcf does run, and libvirt is happy to use it. [r...@localhost network-scripts]# virsh iface-list --all Name State MAC Address -------------------------------------------- br0 active 00:22:19:65:f9:c9 lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 eth1 inactive 00:22:19:65:f9:cb If I service network stop, netcf is still happy to run. I'm not sure what dependency is changing to make netcf functional. My goal was to put something like this in my kickstart: virsh net-destroy default virsh net-undefine default cat <<EOF > /tmp/br0.xml <interface type='bridge' name='br0'> <start mode='onboot'/> <protocol family='ipv4'> <dhcp /> </protocol> <bridge> <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'> </interface> </bridge> </interface> EOF virsh iface-define /tmp/br0.xml BTW, (when netcf will intialize) this does work, but it still does produce an error and virsh iface-list --all doesn't look as would be expected until after a service network restart. [r...@localhost network-scripts]# virsh iface-define /tmp/br0.xml error: Failed to define interface from /tmp/br0.xml error: invalid argument in virGetInterface -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3 _______________________________________________ netcf-devel mailing list netcf-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/netcf-devel
