Re: [Xen-users] Using bonding-device bond0 for Xen

["Richard Mayer" <shiny.mayer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much for the information!
I managed to create a static bridge-device und disabled the
"network"-script. Now I can reach the Xen0 - Domain from the XenU - 
Domain but not any further.

This is what I did to my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
         address ipaddress
         gateway gatewayaddress
         network networkaddress
         netmask 255.255.255.0
        pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
        pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up
        pre-up /sbin/ifconfig bond0 up
        pre-up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0
        pre-up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1
        pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br-bond0
        pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br-bond0 bond0

As I said, I can reach the Xen0-Domain now.
Could you maybe send your configuration file?
This bridge-stuff is pretty new to me... :)

Regards

Richard

The DomU's that you add will then need an entry like:
