RE: [Xen-users] Conflict with Xen bridge?

Daniel, I am new to using Linux and Xen but here is what I have had to do to 
get Xebr0 working.

When you do the install, you are asked to use DHCP or manually input and IP. 
When using DHCP I couldn't get Xenbro to come up as an option when I started 
using Paravirtualization (gui one) as an option. Only option I had was VIRTUAL 
and using the vifxx option. When I rebuilt using an assigned (manual) IP Xenbr0 
became an option and everything worked - each VM was assigned an IP and could 
be seen outside our firewall.

I have rebuilt these machines about 20 times (one PE2950 housing three virtual 
RHEL5 OS connected to an EMC array)now since we are migrating off our IBM 
mainframe to a RedHat/Jboss/MySQL alternative. So while programmers are working 
on Java I have been playing with options for Linux/RHEL5.1 and Xen connected to 
a EMC CX-10c. 

A newbie here but hope that helps.

Tony

Mmmm... executing by hand the previous line, I got the following output.
I suspect that it is the cause because of which the wrapper script don't work.

ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
SIOCSIFNAME: Device or resource busy

But vifnum=1 causes that it loses the connectivity with LAN and Internet. Some 
idea about why it can happen?

Thanks for your time. I will try to read about advanced networking 
configuration with Xen. But I will accept any suggestion or comment that you 
can give me :-)

Regards,
Daniel
