You need to setup your fail-over IP as a 'secondary IP' - that is, don't put it in the xen configs at all. You want to give each server it's own administrative IP most likely, and you can place that in the xm config file; then setup the fail over ip using vrrp or whatever from within the DomUs, the exact same way you would do so on non-xen boxes.

Hi all,

This may be a simple question for some of you, but I can't seem to find any
reference to it on the internet. I created two VMs on the same server
(Debian Etch) in which I wanted to test a fail-over set-up. DRBD works
perfectly, but I'm not trying to get one virtual IP that can be used by both
VMs. However, when I specify the same ip address in both configurations in
the vif part, I get an error when trying to start the second VM. Is there
any way around this, so I can try a heartbeat set-up in which one server
takes over the ip when the other server is down?

I'm using bridged networking.

Any help is appreciated!
