Turning off virt-manager dhcp and dns

[Stephen Johnston]

Hi

I have virt-manager with a static ip'ed windows server 2003 and a win xp 
client so I can play with active directory etc for work.  All under 
Fedora 10 beta.

Can someone tell me if I can turn off the dhcp and dns in the 
virt-manager framework (vibr0) as it is handing out an ip to my client 
before the virtual windows server does.  I believe this is confusing the 
issue when I try to join the client to my virtual windows domain.

I only wish the virt-manager to nat vibr0 to my physical nic so i can 
provide the other config items from within my virtual network.

Thank you.

Stephen

Guys,

My name is Rodrigo Menezes, I'm Fedora Ambassador from Brazil and love 
virtualization. I never used Xen, always worked with VirtualBox, Vmware 
and MS Virtual Server. Now I'd like to dedicate my time to work with Xen 
Server.

My first assign is to create a leacture to present in events in Brazil, 
but I wanna start from the begining. Can you provide me some important 
documentation to start studying?

Cheers,

Rodrigo Menezes

Hello

May be you know Xen supports up to Fedora 8.
After that, Fedora does not support Xen.(Fedora 9 and 10)
More strictly speaking it supports Hypervisor and DomU only, 
Dom0(Privileged Domain) is not supported.

If you want to run Xen on Fedora,
You should install upstream Xen manually or
 wait until "Dom0 paravirt_ops is merged into Linux."


Thanks

Right. Fedora users are encouraged to use CentOS/RHEL.

Making them CentOS/RHEL users. ;)

If you need a Fedora dom0, you can keep using F8 until it is EOL, and
the updates stop flowing. That should be a month after F10 comes out. 

If you're lucky, the upstream pv_ops work may be done soon after that
time. That's what I'm crossing my fingers for. :)

I was roughly guessing February on that based on past release  
schedules.  It would be swell if Fedora would at least handle f8  
kernel security updates for its Xen users until then (everything else  
can be moved into domU).  I think the solution now is to hope we  
don't get pwned in the meantime.  That's pretty weak.

Say, is there a compatibility matrix between RHEL/Fedora dom0  
versions and domU's somewhere?  I'm trying to move an f8 DomU to  
Centos 5.2 Dom0, and not having luck yet.  I probably ought to verify  
it's possible before spending too much time on it.

I've been running Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 domU's on CentOS 5.x dom0 without
any problems.

This was x86 32bit PAE.

Hi,

A late reply - just came across the question when searching for
something else.

You could try "virsh net-edit default" and take out the <dhcp> section.

Probably need to do a "virsh net-destroy default" and "virsh net-start
default" for it to take effect.

Cheers,
Mark.
