[xenpreview-dev] Network with XEN

[Kirk Allan]

My config file on dom0 for domU is in /etc/xen/vm/lvm1 and is as follows:

disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/lvm1/hda,hda,w' ]
memory = 128
vcpus = 2
builder = 'linux'
name = 'lvm1'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:d0:60:69' ]
localtime = 0
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
extra = ' TERM=xterm'
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py'
bootentry = '/dev/hda2:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen'


My ethernet configuration file in domU for eth0 in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-00:16:3e:d0:60:69 is as follows:

BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR='10.1.1.33'
MTU=''
NAME='Xen Virtual Ethernet card 0'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='auto'
UNIQUE='Phe5.Sd+ykfyvlK4'
USERCONTROL='no'


Using xm create -c lvm1, my domU boots and gets assigned IP addr 10.1.1.33.

Hope this helps.
