Thanks! Unfortunately, I am running into the following issue when
attempting to use the generic ethernet configuration:
$ virsh -c qemu:///system create /tmp/generic.xml
error: Failed to create domain from /tmp/generic.xml
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: kvm:
-netdev tap,id=hostnet0: could not configure /dev/net/tun: Operation not
permitted
kvm: -netdev tap,id=hostnet0: Device 'tap' could not be initialized
This is the network part of my xml file:
<devices>
<interface type="ethernet"/>
...
<devices>
<interface type='ethernet'/>
...
<interface type='ethernet'>
<target dev='vnet7'/>
<script path='/etc/qemu-ifup-mynet'/>
</interface>
</devices>
...
In my /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file I have the following set:
user = "root"
group ="root"
dynamic ownership = 0
clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
cgroup_device_acl = [
"/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
"/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
"/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
"/dev/rtc", "/dev/hpet",
"/dev/net/tun",
]
I am running Ubuntu 12, which does not use SELinux.
