libvirt supports lxc so you can create a driver for lxc through opennebula's framework, I don't think it would be that difficult to get the basic functionality working. On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 11:03 AM, cmcc.dylan dx10ye...@126.com wrote: My company want to use lxc as hypervisor. does opennebula

Yes, you need to create a regular bridge device and attach it to a tap device, you can use virt-manager to create this for you, the tap device will be disabled. You will also need an iptables rule to nat packets to/from the bridge, again the virt-manager can do this for you. [vnics] -- [bridge]
