Re: Network question - disable access to an IP without running ifdown ?

Don't use the main IP address for your traffic. Use a secondary, virtual IP address on the same port or ports, say "ifcfg-eth0:1", and tie it to any of the common VIP monitoring packages such as is used by the master-master-mysql monitoring program.

First: update to release 6.5 for the server, if you can, just to avoid known bugs. Second: review whether security tools like SElinux or iptables are possibly interfering with your system. You might turn them off, temporarily, just to see if virt-manager works. Third, review what "virsth" reports

You shouldn't have to install NetworkManager for servers. It is *NOT* your friend.

In a separate note you are using "rpm -ivh [package].rpm". Please use "yum install [package].rpm". yum tries very hard to resolve those dependencies for you, by looking them up in a database built from whatever public software repositories are enabled for your system. yum uses "rpm", but is more p

d997b7d897e242820 I believe you about release 5.x working well if you tell me you've gotten it working with all 3 features, pair bonding, VLAN tagging, and KVM bridging. 2 out of 3 does not count: it really has to be all 3. Nico Kadel-Garcia

Does anyone have virt-manager working with sudo?

I'd love to be able to use sudo with virt-manager, but it simply fails. It does work on Ubuntu, and I'd like to be able to use sudo for all access to my KVM servers, rather than direct root login. Is anyone using sudo successfully with virt-manager on SL 6.3? Other X applications work just fine.
