Hi, I'm having trouble creating a guest domain that uses dhcp for its address. I'm wondering if maybe someone can point out something simple I may be missing.
So here's my setup. Everything is all on one machine. We're running a dhcp server within a zone. I've confirmed that the server is up, and that it is handing out addresses. I have another zone set up that uses it, and I can halt and boot that zone and it gets an ip address from the server. So I can do this with a zone but not with a guest domU yet. I've tried two approaches to getting the domU to get an IP address. One was to run a virt-install in which I explicitly choose to have the machine networked using dhcp. I bridge it over the same network interface that the zones are using. Unfortunately it always times out during the install and tells me it could not find a dhcp server. The other thing I tried, and I think maybe this was misguided, it might only work for zones, but I installed a guest image without networking and then edited the sysidcfg file to enable dhcp, and then rebooted the guest. That didn't seem to work either. I hope you can understand my rambling, but is there anything that comes to mind that I may be missing? Thanks for any help. -Dan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
