The last method(NAT + one host-only adapter) should work: > > @Edison: On the wiki page, you mention not to reinitialize the NAT.

If the MAC address is changed, then the default eth0 will be disabled, as there is a udev rule In devcloud, which binds eth0 on a specific MAC address. I will remove the rule in the next devcloud release. FYI, the rule is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, you can remove it by yourself, then restart devcloud, Eth0 will be enabled again. > > How can I run run multiple devclouds/vms on VBox such that only one is > used for management/storage/xen and the others are just used as xen > hosts (as within a cluster the hypervisors hosts should be homogenous, > using the same devcloud vm should be fine). > > To solve this problem, now I've two separate Citrix XenServer vms on > VBox and trying to setup a management server/nfs-storage running on a > third Ubuntu desktop VM on VBox. > Comment/suggestions on this issue and my approach now? The following combination should work: 1. one devcloud VM has one NAT nic + one host-only nic 2. another one devcloud VM has one host-only nic, which uses the same host-only network as above devcloud. The first devcloud VM acts as both mgt server and xen host, the second one just as a xen host. The changes need to make in both VMs: In first devcloud VM, put xenbr0 on eth1(I assume it's the host-only network), instead of eth0. > > Thanks. > > Best regards, > Rohit
