Xen HVM Windows 2008 network bridge
- by JavierMartinz
I have a problem with the Windows Server 2008 guest (hvm). I can't get a network interface running for him.
I also have a Debian guest and it's working ok, but I can't do it with the Win2k8 guest. When I started the VM, the machine freezes and I can't connect by ssh to the host.
/etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 188.165.B.C
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 188.165.B.0
broadcast 188.165.255.255
gateway 188.165.B.254
brctl show

/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

(vif-script vif-bridge)
(network-script 'network-bridge')
...
/etc/xen/win2k8.cfg
# Networking

vif = [ 'ip=5.39.F.G,mac=yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy,type=ioemu,bridge=eth0' ]
/etc/xen/debian.cfg
# Networking
#
vif = [ 'ip=178.33.D.E,mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' ]
As you can see, in the Debian guest I only have to specify an IP address and a MAC. But if I put that in the Win2k8 guest, the machine does not start.
I am using Xen 4.0
