This is a common mistake - virt-install creates the VNIC for you. So in fact you want to specify the etherstub as the bridge in the virt-install line, and it will create a VNIC on top of the stub for you. > I believe that the interface to be specified as a bridge > and the script argument needs to be vif-dedicated... > [I think I read that on one of the teams FAQ's]. An alternative is to pre-create the VNIC with dladm, then use vif-dedicated, but there's currently no way to specify the script via virt-install, so I don't recommend that. > My problem is my experiments on this has configuration issues, and > I am looking for an example set of virt-install steps [or other] > to explain how to set this type of environment up correctly. We've been working on: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/virtinstall/ for precisely this purpose. Note that it assumes 3.3 bits which aren't yet putback regards john _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
