Sanjeev, 

thanks. Because of unclear instructions in the install guide, I've ran the 
commands to switch to the bridge mode. Perhaps that was the reason why my 
systemvm network was not working. I've done a clean install without running 
these commands and all is working okay. 

Cheers 

Andrei

Hi Andrei, 

As you said egress rules are not applicable for system vms. Since you are using 
advanced networking you don’t have to add any iptable rules on the hypervisor. 
Also make sure that on the hypervisor network is set to "openvswitch". 
If you are trying to download the template from any of your internal web 
servers add those cidrs to "secstorage.allowed.internal.sites" in global 
setting parameters. 

I have a setup with XenServer6.2 with all updates. SSVM is able to resolve the 
domain names without adding port 53 on hypervisor iptables. 

Thanks, 
Sanjeev

Jayapal, 

I would imagine this is the case for guest vms. However, I would think that the 
default policy for system vms would allow dns resolution so that ssvm would be 
able to download templates and isos from the internet. Is this not the case? 

Where would I control the default egress rules for the system vms? 

Thanks 

Andrei

For user vms outgoing traffic to allow you need to add egress rules on network. 


Thanks,
