Hello all,
At the moment I have a running install of kvm.
I do all the virtual networking manually with help of tap adaptors and
bridges.
And I use LVM for the VMs disks.
It is working very well, but to add a VM or to migrate it to another
host is laborious.
Now I have started playing with libvirt, and I would like to know if
anyone else here uses the combination of kvm and libvirt?
What is the most dynamic way of automatically setting up virtual
networks per VM? Should I use qemu-ifup?
I do not use routed or NATted virtual nets. only bridging.
The best way i to manually set up the bridge device via normal Gentoo
means, and create a virtual nic with the host device being that bridge
device. libvirt should take care of the rest.
