RE: AW: [Xen-users] How to transfer files from DOM 0 to DOM U



Hi,

Thanks for telling me. The point is that I can't see the vif0.0, peth0 that kinds of interface when I used the original driver.
Here is the original problem that I have and I posted it yesterday.
After I upgrade the driver, I don't have that issue.
I found that only one user has the same problem as me.
My network adapter is 80003ES2 and my OS is opensuse 10.3.
Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,

Hi,
I am still stuck with the network problem.
I searched the archive of maling list and found an user has the same problem.
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-08/msg00839.html
And the reply suggests to execute "ethtool -K eth0 tx off "
When I executed it, nothing happens. Should I execute this command at boot time?
How can I do that?
So I didn't get the answer from that thread.
Here is my output of ifconfig:

As you can see, no peth0 and vif0.0.

The output of brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.003048637276 no eth0

No vif interface.

Does anyone have the same problem?
This problem is quite annoying.
Actually, I want to make domains can communicate with each other, suck like uploading files from Dom 0 to Dom 1. I really don't know how to achieve this without bridging.
If you have any workaround solution, please kindly let me know.
I have to use opensuse 10.3 with xen. No other limitations.
Any response is appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi

 

When using a notwork share within one Xen machine (domUs + dom0), the “real” network driver is not involved.

Xen has it’s own virtual network cards and these should work independent of the machines network driver.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I will test it later.
The reason why I don't use networking way is because I have to use a customized kernel.
The built-in e1000 driver seems not working on my network adapter when I tried to use bridge.
And I found that I have to update it then it shoule be able to work
(I have another original kernel used for comparison, it happens to have the same problem.
So I update the driver and it works.)
However, I really don't know how to update the driver on the customized kernel.
I cannot find the kernel-source package for that kernel (The kernel version of the customized one and my original one are different).
So I cannot compile the latest e1000 package within the customized kernel because of lacking kernel-source package.
I cannot use the kernel-source of my original kernel since the versions are different and it will have "Invalid Module Format" error while modprobe.
Anyway, I cannot correctly configure bridging correctly at this moment. That's why I need another solution for it.
By the way, do you know any website that talks about how the answer that you mentioned below?
That would help me set up all things more easier. Thanks again.
