RE: [Xen-users] RE: adding a second NIC

[<joel.coopersmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I have added a wrapper in /etc/xen with 755 permissions.  I have
created just like you suggested below:  Here is the contents of that
file:

 # cat /etc/xen/my-network-bridge
 #!/bin/sh
 dir=$(dirname "$0")
 "$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1

Do I need to restart the xend service to make those changes take affect?
How will I see those changes to know they are working?

Then I assume to add them to each guest I modify the /etc/xen/guestname
file by replacing the old vif info with the new device?  I see there is
a MAC address in this same /etc/xen/guestname file that does not seem to
correspond to anything in an ifconfig -a.  I am confused as to where
this MAC comes from.

Somone just helped me here. You need to make a wrapper for the existing
scripts.
Make a new file called my-network-bridge

#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname "$0")
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=2 netdev=eth2 bridge=xenbr2

Change the names to what is applicablke for your version of xen.

Open the config.sxp and point it to the new script, this one calls that
old one. I think you need to make this script executable.
