Bridged Networking - Virtual Environments

by Jorge Fábregas

Hello everyone, I'm learning about bridged networking and how it is applied to virtual environments (bypassing all the automation provided by libvirtd etc) . I have a question regarding ip configuration for the virtual bridge. Let's say I have a host (my machine) where I want to run 3 VMs bridged to my home network (thru eth0). I have a DHCP server running on my DSL router, and I have dhcp enabled on my 3 VMs so they all should get a lease from the DHCP. As far as a I know these are the raw steps needed to accomplish this: 1- create br0 2- remove current ip address from eth0 3- enslave eth0 to br0 4- create tap devices 5- attach tap devices to br0 6- assign tap devices to every VM As you can see I haven't assigned an ip address to the virtual bridge (br0). Why is it that (on almost any site that I visit with this setup) they always end up assigning an ip address to br0? Thanks in advance! Jorge

FYI: iPXE in Fedora 17

by Daniel P. Berrange

FYI, as of this morning, both Fedora rawhide and Fedora 17 now have QEMU using iPXE. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4242/ Please try them out with yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update qemu and check PXE boot is working sensibly for you, and that gpxe-roms-qemu gets removed automagically & replaced by ipxe-roms-qemu.

sudo virt-install VNC: Unable to read from monitor

by Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi, I'm running Fedora 16 and would like to install a KVM VM. On my preious Ubuntu system I used to install such a VM with: $ sudo virt-install [...] --vnc [...] (I'm a sudo fan, not guru) On my F16, running the same command gives me: Starting install... ERROR Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. This, IMHO, is due to the --vnc option trying to open a X11 window. But, if I "sudo -s" then run the same command, the installation goes on, with the X11 VNC window appearing. My system is a F16 XFCE spin, where I disabled SELinux. Would you know how to launch "sudo virt-install [..] --vnc [...]" as a bare user (without escalading with "sudo -s")? On the other hand, "sudo virsh [...] list --all" (which doesn't need VNC X11) works very well. Thank you. -- RMA.

[qemu RPM PATCH] use --with variables for build-time settings

No keyboard with Spice/qxl...

by Georgios Petasis

Hi all, I am facing a problem with Spice: if I enable spice as the display model, everything works (display, mouse), but the keyboard does not work. If I use VNC as the model, the keyboard works, but the display has a slow refresh rate. Any ideas on what it may be wrong? Running fedora 16, will updates installed. Regards, George

Migrating a WinXP guest to F16

by Andrés García

Hi, I have been trying to migrate a WinXP to a new F16 install, from an old F12 machine but I have the problem that networking doesn't work. The guest sees the network card and I can ping it from the guest itself but it has no access to the external network through the bridge. Other virtual machines, both Fedora and Win7, created in the F16 box do work. I tried deleting the network card in the guest and creating a new one but the same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks, Andres García

When checking if bad sectors, are the cause of guest problems. Do you run badblocks -sv /dev/*da from the host, or should the guest be booted, and badblocks -sv /dev/vda -- Regards, Frank "Jack of all, fubars"
