Hi All ! It is very good to have this technology integrated ! Thanks Renzo ! so I decided to give it a shot, .. I gave it a test run, and happy about it !
Overall outlook: 1. This works !!! I have 2 VMs speaking with each other over 1 VDE switch. 2. VirtualBox built script integration At first VDE doesn't seem to compile (at least configuration script doesn't display it) However, the output of "./configure --disable-hardening" never mentions VDE. I would like to see that it looks for VDE, and which version of VDE found on host, if any. 3. "FlexiNetwork" feature of VirtualBox does not work with VDE... i.e. I cannot hot-plug/hot-unplug NICs from/to VDE switches... After Hot-unplagged my VM from VDE switch "vde1", the switch still shows it as active. vde$ port/allprint 0000 DATA END WITH '.' Port 0001 untagged_vlan=0000 ACTIVE - Unnamed Allocatable -- endpoint ID 0003 module unix prog : VirtualBOX user=alexey PID=20258 SOCK=/tmp/vde1/.20258-00000 Port 0002 untagged_vlan=0000 ACTIVE - Unnamed Allocatable -- endpoint ID 0008 module unix prog : VirtualBOX user=alexey PID=20332 SOCK=/tmp/vde1/.20332-00000 Port 0003 untagged_vlan=0000 ACTIVE - Unnamed Allocatable -- endpoint ID 0011 module unix prog : vde_plug: user=alexey PID=20726 SOCK=/tmp/vde1/.20726-00000 ...and after hot-plugging the same VM to switch "vde2", it is still invisible: vde$ port/allprint 0000 DATA END WITH '.' Port 0001 untagged_vlan=0000 ACTIVE - Unnamed Allocatable -- endpoint ID 0003 module unix prog : vde_plug: user=alexey PID=20730 SOCK=/tmp/vde2/.20730-00000 4. About VDE itself: [feature-request] to improve it's command shell Very nice technology -but- *please* make the shell remember last commands... so pressing the "up" arrow will give me previous command, like in Linux's GNU "bash". It will make my life _a lot_ easier. Probably I should report it to VDE bugzilla... -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
