Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with FC5/XEN and network functionality in dom0.
Here's what I did:
- Installed FC5 off the DVD iso available from the Redhat site; (did a
vanilla server install - no X, added dev tools)
- Setup my eth0 interface. I can access network / internet no probs.
- I did a 'yum update' to get all latest patches. Installed, no probs.
(updates current as of 7/21/06)
- I did a 'yum install kernel-xen0' as per the FC XEN HowTo. Installed
no probs.
Rebooted into the xen0 kernel and I discovered that I can't ping or
access any network outside the system itself. I can ping the IP I
assigned to eth0 but all other pings are being returned as" ". This
tells me that there's some sort of routing / firewall issue, however I
have SELINUX and the firewall both disabled in Linux.
I Googled for a solution and ensured that both the IPROUTE and BRIDGING
packages are installed.
Here's something I did find. If I stop the network-bridge script
(/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop) networking returns. I know I'll
need the bridge interface up for what I need this box to do.
Please help.
Thanks for your assistance,
Adam.
