Fwd: [Xen-users] Have anyone made vnet working? how?

["HU wenjin" <wenjin.hu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Florian

Thansk for your reply. Actually, I really like to document how to make vnet work. And I also think that in the makefile, that line is missing the command cp. I added in the makefile. "make install" then it appears the following errors. Anyway, I copied the module vnet_module.ko to the directory /lib/modules/2.6.16.33-xen/kernel/xen/vnet_module.ko  as 00INSTALL said . (The "xen" subdirectory is not there and I had to create it.)

 

In the xend-config.sxp file, I use (network-script network-vnet). And boot up Xen, but Dom0's interface is the bridging's interface. And type "xm vnet-list" it said 

Error: method "xend_vnets"  is not supproted.
 

Can you give me more hints on what's else I need to fix? Thank you.

Hi,

I'm afraid vnet is too untested to successfully build or use.
I think most people are unaware of it, too.

Maybe someone could pick this up, fix the install/Makefile error you
hit and actually _document_ vnet. Then it should be possible to talk
the distros into including it.

Messing around with bridges while Xen has a better utility is SO
tedious, especially if one is looking at consolidating whole networks
into Xen, let aside the security advantages.

It would appear to be a really small bug, have you tried simply
copying vnetd to /usr/sbin?
maybe it works :)
