Finally got a chance to try to do this, and I just cannot find the right combination of documentation/blogs/forum information that corresponds to the bits that exist in 2005.11 (B94). <rant> Rather than include it here: http://adventuresinopensolaris.blogspot.com/2008/07/xvm-marketing-madness.html </rant> I've looked at: http://blogs.sun.com/hasham/entry/sun_xvm_virtualbox_and_host http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.6.2/UserManual.pdf (6.8.2) Basically, I'm stuck even being able to generate a vnic over my (inactive) e1000g0 interface: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pfexec dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER e1000g0 phys 1500 down -- iwk0 phys 1500 up -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/lib/vna e1000g0 08:00:27:22:5E:3A Invalid link name: e1000g0 Can anyone give me some better pointers to doc on how to setup a virtual network, that I can then route externally to whatever interface is active as the default route (iwk0 or e1000g0)? -- paul _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
