I'm a first-time user of SmartOS who is hoping to deploy some Ubuntu
KVM guests on his fresh installation of SmartOS. I need some slight
hand-holding here because something which seems simple isn't working
right for me. Here's the story:
After looking at the wiki's "How to create a KVM VM ( Hypervisor
virtualized machine ) in SmartOS", I came up with some JSON and
supplied it as a file to vmadm create. The Ubuntu KVM guest was
created fine, I VNC'd into it and set a root password. I realized that
networking wasn't working which I thought was odd. Checking the
runlevel, I realized that this was booted to runlevel 2. At least with
Red Hat, I know runlevel 3 is what's required for networking. I'm
assuming the same is required for Ubuntu. I edited one of the /etc/...
files to set the KVM guest to boot into runlevel 3 which is required
for networking. Next I restarted the Ubuntu KVM guest which got it
into runlevel 3. Good, but even after this, networking still seems to
be disabled on the guest. All the correct IP information specified in
the JSON seems to have made it's way to the KVM guest. At this point
I'm not sure what to do.
I did not change any networking settings in the global zone
specifically for this VM and am not sure if this is something I needed
to do. The wiki does have a page "Managing NICs" but at this point I'm
not sure which parts of it are relevant to what I'm trying to
accomplish.
The JSON, the output of dladm show-phys, and the output of dladm
show-vnic are below. Please take a look at it and see if anything is
amiss.
